2026 Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health Research Workshop
Join us for the seventh annual Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health Research Workshop on Tuesday, May 5.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn about new research happening at York University that uses critical social science perspectives and methodologies to understand the global health enterprise. Researchers working in this vein tend to engage directly with global public health actors, structures, and systems, using transdisciplinary, participatory, experimental or experiential methods. The Workshop is intended to generate new insights, foster collaboration, and discover new opportunities in global health research.
This year, Andrew Pinto will be delivering the keynote presentation. Pinto is the founding and current director of the Upstream Lab, a research team focused on tackling social determinants of health, population health management, and using data science to enable Learning Health Systems. He holds the CIHR Applied Public Health Chair in Upstream Prevention. He is a Public Health and Preventive Medicine specialist and family physician at St. Michael’s Hospital of Unity Health Toronto and an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. He is the Director of the University of Toronto Practice-Based Research Network (UPLEARN), the lead for clinical research of Ontario’s POPLAR network, and the founder of the Canadian Primary Care Trials Network.
