The 13th Annual Research Symposium of the Department of Sexualities, Relationships, and Families will be held on Tuesday, Apr 7, 2026 from 8:30 a.m. - 5:15 p.m.
Since 2009, the SRF Symposium, has offered an opportunity for students, faculty, and community members to present their research and engage in critical discussions about important issues in the relationships and sexuality fields. These critical discussions often take on a practical or applied focus – how research translates into practice in the human services fields. The Symposium team remains committed to creating a venue where we can explore and discuss theory and research in critical and accessible ways! Be sure to see the talk "Upcoming" with our keynote presenter Ciann Wilson, PhD, Associate Professor and Program Coordinator, Community Psychology, from Wilfrid Laurier University.
All are welcome to participate in this event!
