Two-Spirit Wellness & Health - Two-Spirit Dry Lab

About this session
Members of the Two-Spirit Lab explore and explain Two-Spirit, and discuss the work of the Two-Spirit Dry Lab, Turtle Island’s first research group that focuses exclusively on Two-Spirit people, communities and experiences. The Two-Spirit Dry Lab works to promote wise practices in sex and gender research and to grow new knowledge(s) that can be applied to improve the lives, health and wellbeing of Two-Spirit and other Indigenous people. They explore Two-Spirit Dry Lab’s dual functions of capacity-building - to develop promising practices for Indigenous and Two-Spirit research; and discovery - to identify factors that promote the health of Two-Spirit people through our analyses and continuous learning and engagement with and for the Two-Spirit community.
