Biographie
David J. Kinitz, PhD, MSW is a social and behavioural health scientist and social worker with a passion for understanding the complex social, political, and economic systems that shape 2SLGBTQ+ mental health and wellbeing. David’s work primarily draws on critical qualitative and mixed-methods methodologies to deconstruct systems of oppression, such as racism, cissexism, heterosexism, and classism. He looks at how these systems reinforce social hierarchies that produce ill-health, particularly as they relate to labour market phenomena. David’s research explores social assistance, employment quality, employment skills and training, and economic insecurity among 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada and the US.
