Professor and Fellow, Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, Simon Fraser University | Executive Director, Canadian Health Services and Policy Research Alliance
I view the world through the lens of 'systems thinking', a mental model which recognizes important differences between simple, complicated, complex and chaotic challenges. The wicked problems that tend to keep me up at night include the COVID-19 pandemic, chronic disease, and the need to add more learning to our health system. I am also passionate about changing our approach to a pedagogy which embraces dialogue, experiential learning and community engagement.
