The Art Gallery of York University is excited to host an afternoon of presentations on Ethical Accessible Research Data Management for the Jane Finch Community.
Friday, May 7, 1-3 pm
Abena, Farwa, and Shenali shed light on how this constellation of initiatives fosters research that benefits the community and contributes to capacity building, making sure research and findings are shared and made accessible to community members, and ensuring that community members are respected and recognized as critical generators of knowledge.
Abena Offeh-Gyimah is a food entrepreneur, a researcher, and an advocate for an indigenous food sovereignty system. She’s worked at Black Creek Community Farm as a coordinator for the youth farming program, with Building Roots as an urban gardener coordinator, with North York Community House as a Strong Neighborhood Coordinator, and currently Project Lead with the Jane Finch Community Research Partnership. Her food business, Adda Blooms, seeks to work with small-scale farmers to bring ancestral foods worldwide. Her blog, https://abenaoffehgyimah.com/, seeks to explore the intersections between food, culture, and equity. Abena is passionate about preserving indigenous plants, seeds, and seeks to work in collaboration with small scale African farmers to grow and preserve ancestral foods.
Farwa Arshad is a 3rd year student at York University majoring in Global Health and specializing in health policy, management, and systems. She works for the Jane Finch Community Research Partnership as a community research associate and is currently working on establishing an open-access community-based repository containing academic articles on the Jane Finch community. She is also involved in the York University community as the president of the Global Health Students’ Association, the representative body for the Global Health degree program, and as the careers coordinator for her faculty-associated colleges.
Shenali Don is an undergraduate student pursuing communication studies and human resources management and working towards a career in public relations. In addition to being the programs manager of the Flaunt It Movement, she is also a research coordinator for the Jane Finch Community Research Partnership. Throughout her time at Flaunt It, Shenali has successfully planned and supported a number of community-based campaigns including major events.
This panel was initiated by the Jane Finch Community Research Partnership. It received support from an affiliated SSHRC-funded project led by Patricia E. Perkins, Professor in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change at York University.
