Rejoignez-nous le mercredi 4 février pour le webinaire de la série AVA intitulé Aperçu du programme de recherche – Comprendre les considérations liées au genre pour la santé et le bien-être des femmes atteintes de SEP au Canada: une analyse phénoménologique interprétative préliminaire, avec Jennifer Collins de l’Université Memorial et chercheuse en début de carrière à l’AVA.
Mercredi 4 février 2026
9 h – 10 h HNR
This presentation delves into Dr. Jennifer Collins’ developing program of research and her focus on women with multiple sclerosis (MS) with a gendered lens in Canada. MS is a neurodegenerative disorder that may be classified as a chronic disease that may lead to disability and/or episodic disability. Jennifer’s research was inspired by her time practicing as a Registered Nurse with this population where she noted considerable gendered differences in lived experiences that were not adequately explored in the literature. This presentation includes her most recent results from a national study that explores lived experiences for women with MS in Canada from an interpretive phenomenological lens.
