The IDRR Seminar Series is an opportunity to learn about the latest research findings from the IDRR researchers in the Faculties of Health Science, Social Sciences and Humanities and Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. A large part of the weekly seminar series is that we invite national and international speakers to present in our series. The live zoom presentations take place on Mondays from 10 am to 11 am EST, and allow you to ask questions and hear about new research directly from the scientists involved. Please e-mail idrr@ontariotechu.ca if you would like to attend a seminar.

How can disability and rehabilitation researchers account for intersectional oppression, centre the priorities and approaches of populations marked by disadvantage and difference, and commit to radical transformation? Learn from Canadian experts who are situated at the forefront of federal-wide disability advocacy how they push for foundational change.
This event is the final installment of the four-part virtual speaker series Advocates Assembly: Disability Research from the Ground Up, hosted by Ontario Tech University's Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research. The series will connect Institute researchers to community-based contacts and research principles, and will introduce Institute research to the wider disability justice seeking community. In this series disability justice activists and disability-centered service providers will speak to the lived experiences, in-community conditions, and most pressing needs of disability populations, in an effort to frame the future of disability and rehabilitation research.
