About us
Women in Research Collective (WiRC) is a peer mentorship network of women-identifying persons working and learning in research spaces. The founders, Janelle & Erin, often connect to seek advice and share experiences while working in research. Recognizing the value in connection and collaboration, WiRC was born from a desire to expand this conversation to others. . What WiRC provides: ● A virtual community to connect, make friends, encourage discourse, and provide a safe space for women-identifying persons to share their achievements, questions, opportunities, and ideas. This community is primarily organized using a dedicated Slack space, where individuals can join various messaging channels to connect with others in the community. To support our aims, these channels include themes like #networking, #resources and #researchquestions, but there are also spaces for #mentalhealthcheck-ins and sharing our #goodnews. ● Monthly interactive discussions from September to May – with topics focusing both on more macro-level societal and sociological issues as well as hard research skills. ● Events (often in collaboration with other organizations) to facilitate fun and rejuvenating activities and content for our members and society at large.
