Congratulations to Family Medicine PhD student Megan Légaré (on the right) who is a recipient of McGill’s Rathlyn Fellowships, worth $12,500 and awarded annually to two Indigenous students conducting postgraduate research.

Légaré is of Kanien’kehá:ka and European settler heritage whose research is focused on the Nunavik Youth House Association, which co-ordinates youth centres in Nunavik and offers a safe and engaging space for Inuit youth ages 5-19.

“My main research interest is showcasing the voices of Indigenous youth,” said Légaré. “I want their voices to be heard and valued; to shape the services that affect them the decisions made about their health.”

Félicitations à Megan Légaré (à droite), doctorante en médecine de famille, qui compte parmi les plus récentes lauréates de la bourse Rathlyn de l’Université McGill. D’une valeur de 12 500 $, cette distinction est attribuée chaque année à deux personnes étudiantes autochtones menant des recherches aux cycles supérieurs.

Megan Légaré est d’origine kanien’kehá:ka et européenne. Ses travaux portent sur l’Association des maisons des jeunes du Nunavik, qui coordonne les différents centres pour les jeunes du territoire et offre un espace sûr et stimulant aux jeunes Inuits âgés de 5 à 19 ans.

« Mon principal objectif de recherche est de donner la parole aux jeunes Autochtones, affirme-t-elle. Je veux que leur voix soit entendue et prise en compte, qu’elle contribue à façonner les services qui leur sont destinés ainsi que les décisions prises au sujet de leur santé. »
