Details

Our firm leads research projects on various topics each year in the fields of anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our work includes systematic reviews of relevant literature, which analyze the progression of research within these fields.


We want to collaborate with students to support our literature review process on Black maternal health in Canada by categorizing papers using Google Scholar or other databases and summarizing important findings. This allows us to extract and process data more easily.


This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing yourself with our research and the types of papers we are interested in.
  • Reading studies relevant to our area of research.
  • Organizing relevant studies.
  • Summarizing and analyzing important results from relevant studies.


Bonus steps in the process includes:

  • Working with researchers to draft a publication based on the results.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students will demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our area of research and the purpose of our project
  • Understanding and categorization of relevant studies
  • Summarizing and analyzing important information and data.


Bonus steps would include:

  • Assisting in the writing of a publication


Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our research projects
  • Current understanding of our field of research
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
