5-4-1 interview with Barbara Gibson

The 5-4-1 interview will be a regular feature of ParaDoxa.

In each interview, we talk about a guest’s work through five things that have influenced them in their thinking and practice.

In this first conversation, I talk with Barbara Gibson, who is a Professor in the Physical Therapy faculty at the University of Toronto. She holds the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Foundation Chair in Childhood Disability Studies and is a Senior Scientist at the Bloorview Research Institute at the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, where she directs the Critical Disability and Rehabilitation Studies unit.

You can find her Google Scholar profile here.
