Author Biography

K. Aubrecht, Mount Saint Vincent University

Katie Aubrecht, Ph.D., is a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Coordinator at Mount Saint Vincent University and instructor at Saint Mary’s University and St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada. Her research questions how embodied responses to the violence of prevailing discourses of power are assimilated under colonial knowledge regimes and in mental illness and aging in health regimes. Aubrecht's current research uses critical theory to analyze the phenomenon of 'person-centred' dementia care.
