Course Description

In collaboration with Work: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment and Rehabilitation.

New immigrants constitute a population vulnerable to workplace injury, however relatively few studies have been undertaken to elicit their perspectives. This presentation reports on an arts-based study exploring experiences of recent immigrants adjusting to Canadian work environments and their understanding of occupational health-and-safety messaging delivered through drawing- and text-based formats.

Drs. Janet Parsons and Linn Holness will talk about the study's results, and reflect upon their experiences of incorporating  arts-based methods into the research process.

During this webinar, attendees will learn about:

  • The growing use of arts-based research and knowledge translation approaches in health care
  • Experiences of workers newly immigrated to Canada with respect to occupational health and safety messaging
  • Experience of our team incorporating drawing into the research process
