Profile
Biography
Olivier Ferlatte est titulaire d'un doctorat en Santé Publique de l'Université Simon Fraser en Colombie Britannique et est professeur adjoint au Département de Médecine Sociale et Préventive à l’École de Santé Publique de l'Université de Montréal. Ses travaux de recherche sont axés sur la relation entre la stigmatisation, la marginalisation, la violence et la santé chez les minorités sexuelles et de genre. Il est un expert reconnu sur les syndémies et sur l’approche intersectionnelle, et les conclusions de ses travaux de recherche ont influencé des politiques ainsi que le développement de programmes visant à améliorer la santé sexuelle et mentale des minorités sexuelles et de genre. Les travaux scientifiques de Mr. Ferlatte sont basés sur plusieurs méthodologies (Qualitative, Quantitative, Méthode artistique, Approches mixtes) et sont mues par un intérêt particulier pour l’engagement communautaire et la participation des personnes touchés par les inégalités en santé en tant que partenaire de recherche.
