I teach in three programs: the social work program, the couple and family therapy program and in an MBA program in international medical health. In all of those I teach around gender and sexual diversity.
I agree absolutely with everything that's just been said. One of the things I want to mention is that if we didn't have the gender institute at CIHR, we would have nothing. I'm one of those who remembers before, where we could not get funding for any research on sexual and gender minorities except the disease model around HIV, which was important and necessary but it was very limited. The gender institute has opened doors. We're catching up with a lot of research.
There was a time when we could put all the researchers in Canada doing research on this issue around that table. The gender institute has allowed us to expand. We have to get to the point where all studies that look at anything related to human life conditions include sexual and gender minorities. We don't necessarily have to always have specific studies, but those specific studies are filling in pieces that we missed historically for generations.
