My anthropological research focuses primarily on the social and cultural dimensions of care. I examine ethical dilemmas and moral pluralism in palliative and end-of-life care, as well as relational issues and organizational transformations in long-term care. I use ethnographic methods in long-term care centres (CHSLDs) and maisons des aînés (MDAs), collaborating with older residents, family caregivers, healthcare staff, and administrators. More specifically, my research explores care team members’ perceptions, interactions, and medical representations, as well as their experiences, practices, and care dynamics.

My additional research and teaching work in nursing science focuses on the partnership-based development of interprofessional health education on aging in Quebec.
