The R\u00e9seau de recherche et de connaissances relatives aux peuples autochtones (DIALOG), led by Professor Carole L\u00e9vesque<\/a>, and the Villes R\u00e9gions Monde (VRM) Network, led by Professor Sandra Breux<\/a>, will receive a grant of close to $3.6 million over seven years from the Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec \u2014 Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et culture (FRQSC).<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo of the thirteen strategic clusters awarded funding are at INRS.

The DIALOG Network<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Created in 2001, the DIALOG Network<\/a>, which includes 40 university researchers and 30 Indigenous coresearchers and contributors, has seen its funding renewed for a fourth time. With more than $1.8 million in support, it will be able to pursue its goal of transforming public policy, including programs for Indigenous peoples. \u201cIn attempting to fight inequality, our governments often exacerbate it by imposing categories and norms from broader Quebec society on Indigenous populations,\u201d maintains Professor L\u00e9vesque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the grant will be used to develop a new project: the social mapping of cultural safety in an Indigenous context. This initiative will make it possible to reconfigure programs in consideration of the specific pathways of Indigenous people in terms of health, education, employability, and justice. The grant will enable DIALOG to hold additional editions of Nomadic University<\/a> and Classe des Sages, unique training programs that bring together Indigenous researchers, students, practitioners, and scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
