Beyond the Binary in BC (BTB) is a project led by Angela Kaida (she/her) and Bev Pomeroy (they/them) based at the Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI). The project was conceptualized in response to inquiries the WHRI was receiving from women’s health researchers about integrating gender inclusivity into their research activities.
Funded by a Michael Smith Health Research BC Convening and Collaborating Grant, the team has established relationships, curated resources, and elaborated recommendations to inform foundational person-centered, and trauma and resiliency-informed approaches to gender
equity in women’s health research.
Currently, the committee is reviewing the glossary document for health researchers and health care workers. It will be a living document, as language is ever changing and evolving.
