Women’s health research — by women for women.
The Women’s Health Interest Group, WHIG, is a Dalhousie Society whose purpose is to share research on women's health and to promote women researchers. Blogs, speaker series, interviews with researchers, & more!
WHIG views gender as a fluid concept and does not seek to reinforce the gender binary. We recognize gender and self-identification, not biological sex. Due to the overlapping, current, and historical discrimination and oppression facing women, femme-identifying, and gender non-conforming people, WHIG believes this group is deserving of specific study.
