Dr. Kenyon is appointed Director of Human Rights Program

Mon. May. 3, 2021

We are happy to welcome Professor Kristi Kenyon as the incoming Director of Human Rights program at Global College as of July 15, 2021. Dr. Kenyon's research and teaching is informed and inspired by more than fifteen years working in, on and with civil society organisations in Southern Africa, South East Asia and Canada in the areas of health and human rights. Her research examines the intersections between health and human rights and their social, cultural and political and legal contexts. She has a particular interest in the role that non-governmental organisations and social movements play in promoting, protecting, and interpreting human rights and health. Current projects include: a CIHR-funded research on stigma and Lymphatic Filariasis in Ghana, SSHRC-funded research on gender, disability and development in South Africa, and research on the role of Vancouver's Downtown Community Court in promoting health and well-being. Dr. Kenyon also has a strong interest in participatory, experiential and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning. Read more
