Gordon DuVal is the director of Carleton’s Office of Research Ethics. Prior to joining Carleton, DuVal spent 25 years researching and teaching health law, research ethics and medical ethics at the Joint Centre for Bioethics and faculties of Law and Medicine at the University of Toronto, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and the American University College of Law in Washington, D.C.

“Carleton is home to a wealth of expertise in Indigenous peoples’ issues and practices,” says DuVal. “With respect to research, our challenge is to ensure that Indigenous peoples’ research is conducted with respect for their unique histories, cultures and traditions.”
