Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The SCI Mobility Lab is committed to supporting and maintaining a learning and working environment that values equity, diversity and inclusion. Every person has a right to fair treatment. Diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences strengthen our research and development as scientists. In alignment with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, our lab is committed to working with all underrepresented/minoritized populations (including LGBTQ2S+ people, racialized groups, people with disabilities, those from rural or remote communities, and more) in order to advance all forms of equity. Our lab is committed to the principles of allyship, with the acknowledgement that people in positions of privilege must be willing to align themselves in solidarity with marginalized groups.

Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto and Lyndhurst Centre, KITE-TRI operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinabewaki, the Wendake-Nionwentsïo, and the Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee). Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
