Presenter’s Bio
Dr. Susan L. Hardie, PhD, MSW, Eviance Executive Director
Susan is the Executive Director of Eviance. She has a PhD from Wilfrid Laurier University and completed her post-doctoral research at the Centre for the Study of Gender, Social Inequalities and Mental Health (CGSM).
Susan has worked for over three decades in various capacities in the cross-disability and mental health fields. She is a knowledge leader and educator on emerging issues and has built Eviance into a national organization that champions authentic engagement and builds collaborations with historically siloed groups. These collaborations are informed by intersectionality, human rights and reflexivity, with a vision of making a difference in people’s lives.
Her achievements with Eviance include being an honoured presenter on intersectionality and disability at the Global Action of Disability Network Meeting hosted by Global Affairs Canada and working on inclusive education in the Ukraine, a project that received a Zero Project Award for innovation. Susan received this honour on behalf of Eviance at the United Nations in Vienna in 2016.
Areas of Significant Contribution: intersectionality, human rights and reflexivity, transformative leadership, ethics of care, justice and critique, meaningful engagement, transformative structural and system change, cross-disability and mental health, social development and welfare.
