Scientific Advisor, National Collaborating Centre for Healthy Public Policy (NCCHPP)
Bio
Michael joined the NCCHPP in 2007. His focus at the Centre is on two projects: public health ethics, and climate change. In public health ethics, he has worked to share ethics resources and approaches for everyday practice in public health. For climate change, he is motivated by ideas, measures and actions that may help us to flatten the emissions curve, support justice at home and globally, and avoid runaway heating and ecological collapse. His academic background is in English literature (B.A., Toronto) and Philosophy (B.A., Victoria; M.A., Dalhousie) with interests in epistemology, language and ethics. His work is also informed by past experience in community development with a not-for-profit.
