Erin Flanagan is a PhD candidate in the Graduate Program in Health at York University. Her research examines the intersection of climate change and health equity, with a focus on how power, political economy, and institutional discourse shape public health and healthcare responses in Canada. Using a critical materialist political economy framework and a health equity lens, her dissertation analyzes how public health, medical, and nursing institutions engage with climate justice. Erin’s work contributes to scholarship on planetary health equity, climate governance, and the social determinants of health, with the goal of informing more transformative and equitable public policy responses to the climate crisis.
