Berg, Canada Research Chair in Human Rights, Diversity and Identity; Community, Culture & Global Studies, UBC Okanagan Campus and Dr. Bonita Sawatzky, Assistant Professor with the Department of Orthopaedics, UBC Vancouver Campus and an ICORD Faculty member, Human Discovery Science.

Dr. Lawrence Berg and Dr. Bonita Sawatzky bring to the DHRN diverse research interests. They believe that strong interpersonal, facilitation and inter-disciplinary leadership skills will lead to successful research and network building experiences.
