🎬 Give It a Shot (2026): Film Screening & Panel Discussion

What if men had a reversible contraceptive option beyond the condom?

Join the Centre for Global Health and the International Reproductive and Sexual Health Law Program for a screening of Give It a Shot, a documentary following scientists in India and the United States as they race to develop a new male contraceptive that could revolutionize family planning and improve women’s lives globally.

The film follows their efforts to launch the first reversible male contraceptive of its kind since the modern condom, while exploring who bears responsibility for preventing pregnancy and the global forces that shape which health technologies reach the public.

Following the screening, a panel featuring award-winning filmmaker Vaishali Sinha, Rebecca J. Cook, Dana Repka and moderator Amaya Perez-Brumer will discuss contraceptive responsibility, reproductive justice, gender equality and reproductive health technologies.

This week, we hosted Public Health Science Orientation Day for our incoming Master's and Doctoral students at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health — and the energy in the room said everything about the year ahead.

New cohorts of researchers, practitioners, and future public health leaders came together to start building the relationships, ideas and momentum that will carry them through their programs. It's always a privilege to watch that first spark of community take shape.

Thanks to all the staff and faculty members who enthusiastically took part in the day — your energy set the tone for a great welcome.

A transformative $6 million gift from Drs. Michael and Amira Dan is expanding Indigenous-led health research here at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.

The donation establishes two new endowed professorships at the Waakebiness Institute for Indigenous Health (WIIH): The Duke Redbird Professorship in Indigenous Wellness and the Ozhaawashkobinesiik Professorship in Indigenous Health Systems Research.

“These positions will support research grounded in Indigenous governance and ethics in health,” says Dr. Ethsi (Suzanne) Stewart, director at WIIH. “Across Canada and the world there are very few endowed Indigenous health research professorships, particularly in health systems and wellness. These positions expand the pool of Indigenous scholarship and create space and capacity to lead Indigenous health research worldwide.”
