CISUR post doctoral fellows

Mahboubeh joined CISUR in 2015 through her Mitacs post-doctoral research award with UBC. She is interested in using engaged philosophical inquiry (EPI) in different educational contexts and in developing teaching/learning resources. Since 2015, Mahboubeh has focused on using EPI as both the content and means of professional development for K-12 teachers in order to help facilitate a non-stereotyped, open, and thoughtful discussion on drug use related topics. She is also involved in a number of other ongoing projects within the Institute.

Dr. Card is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the School of Public Health and Social Policy at the University of Victoria and an affiliate researcher with the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, the Canadian Institute of Substance Use Research, and the Community-based Research Centre for Gay Men’s Health. Dr. Card’s current research aims to leverage his interdisciplinary perspective to reduce health inequities facing gender and sexual minorities. His primary focus within this research area is on the intersection of social policy and the biopsychosocial production of risk-related behaviour.
