Capacity: The Centre for Research in Community Engagement and Gender Equity at the University of British Columbia is an interdisciplinary team of researchers, staff, students and organizations working together to address discrimination and inequities in health care and social services.
Our research is shaped by community-academic collaboration. Together we strive to develop, test and inform practices, programs and policies that positively affect the well-being of people who regularly experience health and social inequities.

We respectfully acknowledge that Capacity: The Centre for Research in Community Engagement and Gender Equity at the University of British Columbia is situated in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam). We also acknowledge that we conduct and facilitate research activities across the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation and their peoples.

Capacity engages with a diverse network of partners and organizations across Turtle Island, and we acknowledge and thank the traditional owners and caretakers of the lands upon which we carry out our collaborations and shared work.  We are grateful to the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island for the opportunity to form and strengthen research partnerships across the lands and waters they have cared for since time immemorial.
