Faculty & supervisors

There are more than 130 full-time faculty members engaged in health research across the 28 departments, schools, programs, institutes and research centres in the faculties of Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, and Human and Social Development. The innovative approach of our programs harnesses the full power of this large interdisciplinary base of health research expertise.

By cross-cutting traditional disciplinary affiliations, the SDH programs bring together researchers with a breadth of research experience, background and methodological expertise who challenge students to examine health research from a variety of perspectives.

While all UVic faculty are qualified to supervise SDH students, 35 faculty members are committed to participating actively supporting the program and servicing on student committees and are listed below. These faculty members form the official SDH faculty list and students must include at least one as a co-supervisor.

Prospective students who are considering applying to SDH are encouraged to consult our official faculty member list as a first step in your application process. Keep in mind that you are required to have confirmed, written support of at least one SDH faculty member, preferably two, at the time of application.
