5th Spring Research Forum

The Center for Women’s Health and Wellness and HHS Office of Research are co-hosting the 5th annual Research Forum to showcase scholarly work relevant to women’s health and wellness at UNCG.

This in-person event will take place on Friday, February 28, 2025, in the Nursing Instructional Building room 510. We have identified an amazing keynote speaker, Dr. Lisa Bowleg, director of the Intersectionality Training Institute. She will give a keynote presentation about her own research: “Intersectionality: An Indispensable Critical Framework for Qualitative Equity Research”. Dr. Bowleg will also lead a 2-hour workshop titled “The 5 Most Important Things Health Equity Researchers Need to Know About Doing Qualitative Intersectionality Research”.

The forum will also include flash talks to highlight research from across the university. Submissions should include research that informs the health and wellness of girls and women broadly. We welcome all submissions that address issues applicable or relevant to women’s physical or mental health. A goal of the research forum this year is to highlight qualitative research; however, we welcome both qualitative and quantitative research presentations (ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED).
