Connection Grant Winners
SSHRC Connection Grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage with participants on research issues of value to them. Events and outreach activities funded by a Connection Grant can often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.

“Pathways to Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming access to justice”
In 2021-2022, JusticeTrans and Pierre Cloutier de Repentigny, as Principal Investigator, conducted a Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) funded mixed-methods pan-Canadian legal needs assessment for Two Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming (2STNBGN) people in Canada (JusticeTrans, forthcoming). The research surveyed 703 2STNBGN people from across Canada and followed up with over 60 participants through one-on-one interviews and focus groups. The research affirms that 2STNBGN people experience high rates of legal issues, with 93% of participants indicating they had experienced at least one legal issue within their lifetime. Beyond this, it confirms that 2STNBGN people experience high rates of transphobia and other forms of discrimination including racism, classism, ableism, and stigma against sex workers and drug users.
This project seeks to extend the knowledge translation and mobilization activities of this research through community outreach activities including a hybrid in-person and online Two Spirit, Trans, Non-binary and Gender Nonconforming Access To Justice Symposium, followed by a series of accessible policy briefs detailing the findings of specific issues related to 2STNBGN access to justice, and online workshops that focus on specific themes identified in the report including legal issues related to medical care, housing, and experiences with police harassment and violence.
