Dr. Bungay is a Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia, and is a former Canada Research Chair in Gender, Equity and Community Engagement (2015-25). As the Director of Capacity: The Centre for Research in Community Engagement and Gender Equity, her work focuses on addressing socio-economic and political inequities (e.g., marginalization) that negatively affect people’s health and well-being including the devastating effects of stigma, discrimination and violence. She is interested in how research partnerships can positively impact communities that are regularly excluded in health and social policy and programming that affect their lives and how community-based interventions support real world evidence.
