Join our team and influence change in public post-secondary!

We are looking for post-secondary students to join a paid participatory action research project.

Are you:

• An adult 18+ who self identifies as both Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit) and Autistic/Person with Autism? We are inclusive of mixed racial identity.

• Enrolled in a post-secondary institute?

• Committed to advancing human rights and social justice for Indigenous and Autistic Peoples?

This research is designed to improve the work of Indigenization, decolonization, equity, diversity and inclusion in public-post secondary by lifting up an Indigenous Autistic student voice and experience.

For more information, please see the poster here or email Principal Investigator, Heather Simpson, M.A., at hsimpson@jibc.ca.
