Tracey Edelist

Research focus:

Having worked as a speech-language pathologist and subsequently obtaining a PhD in Social Justice Education from OISE/U of T, Tracey's research bridges critical disability studies, speech-language pathology and audiology practices, and language policy. Tracey works within disability studies to examine societal and professional norms and assumptions about speech, language, and hearing, and the lived consequences of those assumptions. She aims to bring intersectional critical perspectives of disability and normalcy to health professions education.
