Monthly Meeting
An introduction to umbrella reviews
The monthly PRAM meeting is an opportunity to share project updates, present research protocols, practice dissertations defences, and more.
This month, Dr Mona Ghadirian, provided an informative presentation on how to conduct umbrella reviews (overview of reviews). This review method assesses systematic reviews and meta-analyses on a given topic.

New Project Announcement
The impact of discrimination and negative perceptions on the wellbeing of Muslims in Montréal, QC
|
|
|
|
In partnership with the Canadian Muslim Forum (MCF), Dr Loubna Belaid and Samer Mazjoub, lead a project to co-design media strategies to prevent negative attitudes towards Muslim communities in Montreal. We are very grateful for the contributions of our community partners (Nermine Barbouch, Ghada Mohammed, Khalid Siddiqui, Roody Thermidor, El Medi Karafli, and Abdellatif Abouelseoud), who are leading the participation of community members.
A scoping review is currently underway, identifying factors contributing to negative attitudes toward Muslims. Soon, fuzzy cognitive mapping sessions with gender and age-stratified groups will be conducted across three mosques in Montreal. Following the sessions, a culturally appropriate e-survey will be conducted, as well as deliberative dialogues to develop the content of the media strategies. We will share the results; stay tuned!

Shining Our Bright Light: Nunavimmiut Stories of Teaching and Learning & Self-Determined Education in Nunavik
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This month, the First Peoples Post-Secondary Storytelling Exchange (FPPSE) team, hosted a film screening event to present two short films, The Story of Pasha by Pasha Partridge, and Hunting Life by Neekallak Annanack, as well as Shining Our Bright Light by Michelle Smith PhD(c) (pictured below with PRAM member Dr Alex McComber) and the FPPSE, wherein Nunavimmiut youth and community members shared experiences of teaching and learning in college, university, in community, and on the land, and make the call for Inuit control of Inuit post-secondary education.
Following the screening, community members, researchers, and artists hosted a panel discussion session to reflect on their experience making the films, and discussed the future of Nunavimmiut-led education in Nunavik.
It was a wonderful event and we want to congratulate all the filmmakers and panelists for their amazing contributions!
