PhD, Scientist
The Wilson Centre
Discussant
Tina Martimianakis, PhD, is Scientist with the Wilson Centre and The Institute for Education Research at University Health Network, Associate Professor and Director of Medical Education Scholarship at the Department of Paediatrics, Unversity of Toronto and Associate Director, Collaborations and Partnerships at the Wilson Centre. Tina studies the socio-politics of education. Using a combination of ethnographic and discourse analysis she tracks the effects of several interconnected discourses, such as compassion, integration, globalization, and collaboration, with a centering focus on how they generate implicit and explicit rules for behaving when learning and working. Her research program brings a unique framing to professional identity by aiming to explain why some knowledge and values we want health care providers to embody when caring for patients are incorporated into their practice, while others are rejected. Tina has an international reputation for introducing new lines of inquiry, recognized with several awards and distinctions.
