Aug. 24 – Embedding Student Wellbeing into Your Teaching PracticeThis event is part of the CTLT Summer Institute, taking place from August 22–26, 2022. Research clearly demonstrates that classroom environment and instructor approaches positively impact student wellbeing, enjoyment and course engagement. Wellbeing is viewed as a basic resource for success. The goal is to augment teaching practices to address wellbeing in some way, so it becomes as basic to teaching as writing learning objectives. The risks are minimal and the rewards are high, for both faculty and students. The TEACHERS Project was designed to help faculty implement simple wellbeing strategies into classrooms, using principles gleaned form intentional kindness research, inclusion, engagement and diversity integration, a community of practice for teaching wellbeing, and more. Facilitator: Sally Stewart, Associate Professor of Teaching, School of Health and Exercise Sciences, UBCO August 24 1:00 – 2:30pm |

Aug. 12 – Consultant Opportunity with Dietitians of Canada re: Household Food InsecurityDietitians off Canada (DC) is committed to supporting dietitians in their advocacy efforts. Members have identified the need to gain access to updated information about how they can advocate for all Canadians to live in food secure households. A draft position paper has been developed and reviewed by an extensive Advisory Team and in consultation with the DC Household Food Insecurity (HFI) Network. Feedback from the Advisory Team review of the first draft, along with newly emerging research, highlight the need to amplify the role of historically under-explored systemic barriers to HFI, including racism and settler colonialism. DC is now seeking to hire a consultant to finalize the paper, titled “Addressing Household Food Insecurity in Canada: Position Statement, Key Messages, and Recommendations”. As dietitians play an integral role in supporting Canadians to eat well, there are opportunities to support systems change and mitigate harm by reflecting on research and elevating the voices of those with lived experience most affected by HFI. Application deadline: August 12, 2022 Find out more about the project and how to apply here: https://bit.ly/3uLg6ma La version français ici: https://bit.ly/3P4VddP |

Sept. 29 – Health in Unexpected Places – Funding OpportunityUBC Health is inviting interdisciplinary teams who are undertaking innovative health-oriented research in faculties, schools, or departments that stretches beyond the usual or expected to participate in Health After 2020. The Health After 2020 program enables researchers to engage in interdisciplinary, cross-institutional collaborations that aim to create change in health and health producing systems. The 2022/23 theme for Health After 2020 is Health in Unexpected Places. Health is not only the absence of disease but an attribute of individuals, communities, and societies that is vital for daily living. Health is shaped by a wide range of determinants, from individual genetics and risk factors to social and environmental exposures, education, work, and social and economic position. Health-oriented research exists in surprising and unexpected places across every faculty, school, and department at UBC—demonstrating that improving health and wellbeing extends beyond the health disciplines. The call for proposals for Health After 2020 is open to faculty members at UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan until September 29, 2022.
