Instructor Profile
Dr. Michelle Amri
Assistant Professor, School of Population and Public Health, UBC
Dr. Michelle Amri holds the Mary and Maurice Young Professorship in Applied Ethics. She was a Term Assistant Professor at the School of Public Policy at Simon Fraser University (SFU). Prior to joining SFU, she was a Takemi Fellow in the Takemi Program in International Health at Harvard University.
Dr. Amri’s program of research is situated in global health and uses an applied ethics lens to focus on the normative nature of health equity. Her work seeks to understand how equity can be better incorporated in public policymaking, both in terms of how relevant actors consider equity in developing policy (e.g., how equity is understood and operationalized) and how equity can be improved in policymaking processes.
