Presented by Donna Mergler Professor Emerita in the Department of
Biological Sciences of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM)
Do contrasting social expectations along with biological differences lead
men and women to be affected differently by environmental contaminants
like mercury or pesticides? How do gender and sex interact and impact
population health? Professor Donna Mergler has authored more than 150
scientific articles and has given many lectures around the world on the
subject, and will share her research on how to promote social and gender
considerations when conducting environmental health research.

Biography: Professor Emerita Donna Mergler has been a professor of
physiology and environmental health since 1970. Her research in
environmental and occupational health, conducted in Quebec, Canada, and
several Latin American countries, focuses on the early effects of exposure
to environmental contaminants (mercury, manganese, pesticides, organic
solvents, persistent organic pollutants) on the nervous systems of
children and adults. She is a member of the Centre for Interdisciplinary
Research
on Biology, Health, Society and Environment (CINBIOSE), a collaborating
centre of the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health
Organization (WHO-PAHO).
Currently, she leads the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
Emerging Team on Gender, Environment and Health and she is co-coordinator
of the Community of Practice in Ecosystem and Health in Latin America and
Caribbean (CoPEH-LAC).
About the CEC: The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is an
intergovernmental organization that supports the cooperative environmental
agenda of Canada, Mexico and the United States to green North America's
economy, address climate change by promoting a low-carbon economy, and
protect its environment and the health of its citizens. The CEC brings

North American solutions to global environmental challenges. Find out more

Jill Dolan

Led by York theatre professors Laura Levin andMarlis Schweitzer, the
Performance Studies (Canada) Project is a SSHRC-funded research study that
explores how the field of performance studies has developed in Canada over
the past few decades. The project seeks to bring together performance
studies researchers located in Canada to share their work, identify major
works of performance theory on Canadian subjects that have been left out
of American-centred mappings of the field, and ask how institutional and
cultural conditions have produced alternative articulations of
"performance" in Canadian contexts.

Location: North Ballroom at the Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St. West, Toronto
