Our Research
Movement x Planetary Health
We face dual threats, climate change and deteriorating mental health, combined with existing economic challenges, political polarization, and racialized violence. Through global engagement and multi-sectoral collaboration, we explore viable actions toward implementing sustainable solutions.
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 resources for all individuals, regardless of their identities, is crucial. Grounded in the intersectionality framework, our goal is to create a survey tool that quantifies the complex interplay of multiple social identities within the context of large-scale, population-based studies.
Global Collaboration
Inspired by the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA), an organization committed to powering the global movement to get kids moving, we are dedicated to playing a leadership role in advancing children’s physical activity around the world through internationally collaborative research and advocacy work.
