I have published scientific articles on topics such as pediatric palliative care, pandemic ethics and the care of older adults, social and health inequities exacerbated by COVID-19, and healthcare access for migrant and indigenous communities. My forthcoming publications address the sociocultural context of care and aging in crises, as well as the ethical and moral issues surrounding complex end-of-life experiences in long-term care.
