Indigenous Health Learning Lodge: Statement of Response Regarding the Kamloops Indian Residential School Discovery |
|
|---|
|
"As all of Canada bears witness to yet another Indian Residential School related tragedy, the stark evidence-based findings from the Kamloops Residential School convey perhaps, a harsher reality. This is a hard truth that has been affirmed with evidence. A more somber truth perhaps, is that many Indigenous people; parents, grand-parents, aunties and uncles have known for years but nobody was listening. Sadly, the Tk'emlΓΊps te SecwΓ©pemc First Nations have had their truth confirmed."

Q: What are some of the most common challenges of starting a program of research and how can these be overcome?
A: Everything takes more time than you think. E.g. establishing the necessary ethics/biosafety, purchasing major equipments. To ensure these things do not hinder your research, it would be great to speak with senior researchers in similar positions to identify the critical items needed to set up your lab.
Q: What does a successful program of research look like?
A: In my eyes, a successful program would comprise of holding 1-2 major CIHR/NSERC grants with 2 grad students working on each grant. Most importantly, a successful program requires good lab personnel relationships with sufficient overlap to ensure transfer of necessary skillsets. This is the key to long term success (in my perspective).
Q: Are there any lessons learned or tips you'd like to share with junior researchers/faculty?
A: Be prepared to spend a major portion of your time on people management, and acknowledging their work. Professional development programs are important so that you are prepared to handle inevitable conflicts that require sensitivity and resolution. |
