Our Research
Movement x Planetary Health
Contemporary societies face interconnected challenges—including climate change, biodiversity loss, widening health inequities, and rapidly changing social, economic, and political environments—that profoundly shape opportunities for health and well-being. We investigate the complex relationships between active living, planetary health, and health equity to generate evidence that informs systems-level action and sustainable population health.
Politics x Movement Health
While biomedical science plays a crucial role in public health, its dominance in the discourse may overshadow the importance of addressing broader social, economic, and environmental factors that shape population health outcomes. A more comprehensive and inclusive approach, considering social determinants and health equity, is necessary to address the complex and multi-faceted nature of public health challenges.
Movement x Intersectional Equity
Promoting equitable access to health-promoting resources and opportunities requires understanding how multiple social identities and systems of advantage and disadvantage shape health across populations. Grounded in intersectionality theory, our research aims to advance quantitative approaches for examining these complexities by developing a survey questionnnaire and using large-scale population health research.
