Tracey Prentice

Tracey Prentice is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the School of Public Health and Social Policy, University of Victoria, BC. She has a Ph.D. in Population Health, a Master's in Socio-Cultural Anthropology, and a Graduate Certificate in Health Services and Policy Research. Her Ph.D. Thesis won the Joseph de Koninck Award for Best Ph.D. Thesis in an Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Ottawa, and her work has been sighted as an exemplary example of research with Indigenous communities. As a non-Indigenous scholar with 15 years of experience, Tracey seeks out collaborative research projects that support Indigenous community leadership, self-determination, and strive for social change. She is particularly interested in culture and gender as determinants of health and decolonizing, arts-informed and strengths-based approaches to health and wellness.
