The Indigenous Experiences Lab (IEL) in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University is led by Dr. Iloradanon Efimoff. The lab focuses on conducting research that improves Indigenous experiences. Currently, the lab’s research is focused on reducing anti-Indigenous racism through education. The research coming out of the IEL is often mixed-methods, community-focused, and action-oriented.<\/p>

Dr. Iloradanon Efimoff is accepting students for Fall 2026\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Dr. Efimoff does not typically supervise clinical students, but if you are Indigenous or your research interests align exceptionally well with Dr. Efimoff’s and you’re interested in clinical, Dr. Efimoff may make an exception. In these cases, please email Dr. Efimoff so she can be sure to review your application.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
