In the spirit of Black History and African Heritage Month at Brock, Masters student Isabelle Hill and recent graduate Christabel Oghinan take the mic to explore what Black allyship looks like in research. They spoke with Dr. Andrea Doucet, Professor in Brock’s Department of Sociology and Canadian Research Chair in Gender, Work and Care, and recent PhD grad Dr. Sadie Goddard-Durant, Director of the Office of Equity Diversity & Inclusion at Durham College about how they negotiated the supervisor-student relationship and what allyship means to them.
This is the second of a two-part conversation recorded February 2024.
