Bio/Research
Dr. Joanna (Anneke) Rummens is a health systems research scientist, community-engaged researcher, knowledge mobilizer and educator whose work explores the various links between multiply-diverse identities, health/well-being and life outcomes of marginalized, disadvantaged, and often ‘invisible’ populations. These include children/youth living in challenging contexts; newcomer immigrants and refugees; precarious status migrants; and war-affected communities.
Her professional experience:
spans the medical, health and social sciences
bridges academe, community, service provision and government
links the health care, immigration and education sectors
integrates collaborative knowledge co-creation, exchange, mobilization, uptake, and implementation partnerships with transdisciplinary interprofessional education, teaching, training, supervision, and professional mentorship
Dr. Rummens’ program of integrated research and knowledge implementation is cross-disciplinary, comparative and mixed-methodological, and involves local, national and international partnership networks across Canada, Europe, Africa, South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
As a knowledge co-creator, synthesizer and mobilizer, she works directly with diverse communities, service providers and key decision makers. She has led several large-scale multi-disciplinary, interprofessional, cross-sectoral partnership collaborations to address pressing issues in health and well-being at the individual, community and societal level.
Dr. Rummens is passionate about “using our collective knowledge to optimally inform what we actually do” to ensure more equitable and optimal health and life outcomes for our multiply-diverse populations both in Canada and abroad. She has extensive experience in integrated research and knowledge transfer and exchange, networked knowledge mobilization partnerships, and knowledge uptake implementation to directly inform decision-making and impact actual outcomes.
Dr. Rummens is also former director of three different integrated research/knowledge transfer/training centres and institutes focused on global development, immigration and resettlement integration, and child/youth success.
A recognized expert in identity/diversity, migrant health and well-being, and knowledge transfer governance, she regularly serves in an advisory capacity in the areas of health, education, migration, and social inclusion, to various initiatives, organizations and government ministries at the local, provincial, national and international level.
