Ben Brisbois
Profile
Research expertise
Je suis chercheur et éducateur formé en santé publique et en études environnementales. Mes recherches portent sur la compréhension et la réduction des inégalités en matière de santé provenant des structures sociales et environnementales mondiales, en partenariat avec les communautés touchées. Les domaines d'intérêt à ce jour comprennent les impacts de l'agro-industrie bananière sur la santé au travail et l'environnement et les impacts sur la santé de l'extraction des ressources. J'étudie également la production sociale des connaissances en santé publique et les influences des entreprises sur la santé et la recherche en santé. J'utilise des méthodes mixtes comprenant l'ethnographie, l'analyse du discours, les synthèses de connaissances et les approches participatives.
