Research information:

I am a political scientist who is interested in health and disability politics and health policy. I have specific interests in how citizens can affect health policy issues. I am especially interested in condiitions that affect marginalized communities, such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C., I am currently completing a SSHRC-funded project on ableism in social movements. My non-health related interests include methods of citizen engagement and citizen participation, the role of the voluntary sector, and the influence of interest groups and social movements.
