Biography
Dr. Ellen MacEachen is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Health, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Dr. Ellen MacEachen research examines the design and performance of work and health systems to identify how they can be improved and adapted to fast changing economic, social and technological environments of our global economy. I am particularly interested in international work disability policy and the health risks and opportunities of new forms of work (such as “sharing economy” gigs). I specialise in qualitative and evaluation research methods and my research is informed by a sociological lens, which means that my studies are sensitive to complex interrelationships between individuals and broader contexts. I co-direct the Centre for Research on Work Disability Policy, where I work closely with community stakeholders.
