Robin Metcalfe, Killam Doctoral Fellow, Researches Gender, Disability and Employment

A nice story about one of our Research Assistants, Robin Metcalfe, is shared in the UBCO School of Social Work’s December newsletter The Intersection.

Robin is PhD student and recent recipient of a Killam Doctoral Fellowship. She is passionate about disability studies research.

She cites the mentorship of her supervisor, Dr. Rachelle Hole, for helping ignite her interest: “Rachelle asks the fundamental question, what is the meaning of normal? She situates social justice in a way that seems so potent.”
