Following the relaxation of provincial restrictions on public gatherings, Green College is no longer registering audience members in advance for in-person or hybrid (in-person and livestreamed) events in the Coach House. All persons attending in-person events are required to provide proof of vaccination and ID, and to wear a mask. Green College reserves the right to deny entry to anyone who does not comply.
The presentation will cover Rodney Stehr's thesis work on the experiences of queer youth navigating overlapping public health crises—specifically COVID-19 and the overdose crisis. To help set-up he context for his research, Rodney will provide a summary of how COVID-19 and the overdose crisis have been broadly impacting populations in Vancouver, British Columbia throughout the timeline of his thesis work. He will then outline the methods used in the study (i.e., digital diaries and remote semi-structured interviewing) and how their usage implicates the types of data collected, accessibility and rapport. Finally, Rodney will share initial findings from his thesis work.
Rodney Stehr is a mixed settler student pursuing an MSc in Interdisciplinary Studies with the Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program at UBC. Rodney is a Resident Member of Green College, and the first presenter in the 2021-22 Green College Resident Members’ Series.
