Health Professions Education
We investigate death education, equity and inclusion, and sacred tenets like science, competence, and professionalism.
Innovative approaches to ethnography, critical discourse analysis, and longitudinal research, enable us to explore the powerful norms shaping medical education.
Our program of research includes the following projects:
Sacred discourses: Exploring medical educators' perspectives on competence, science, and professionalism (The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, 2024-2028)
Underrepresented in medicine: A meta-ethnography of underrepresented students’ experiences of medical school (The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, 2022-2024)
Death and dying in undergraduate medical education: An ethnographic critical discourse analysis (The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, 2020-2024)
Death and dying in postgraduate medical education: A longitudinal discourse analysis. (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, 2024-2026)
