Bharati Sethi is an Associate Professor and a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Care Work, Ethnicity, Race and Aging in the Political Studies department at Trent University. She is a critical feminist scholar who brings extensive knowledge on community-based arts-informed research and intersectionality to explore social determinants of health in immigrants' and refugees’ lives in Canada. Her teaching interests include policy, community practice, immigration, and diversity. Bharati’s scholarly trajectory is fuelled by her lived experiences as an immigrant to Canada from India. Her multi-site and multi-disciplinary research, primarily focused on small urban centers and rural regions, has earned her several prestigious community and academic awards. She has extensively published her scholarly works about immigrants and refugees in high-impact factor journals. In addition to her expertise in working with immigrants and refugees, she is skilled in the policymaking domain which positions her to advocate for policy and practice improvements at the national, provincial, and local levels. She was interviewed by the Free Press, Sarnia and Lambton County, Globe and Mail, CBC, 980 CKNW, Toronto Star, and Conversations Canadian Press on her research with racialized personal support workers.
