Dr. Brotman's scholarly activities center on questions of access and equity in the design and delivery of health and social services to cultural communities in Canada. Her work incorporates an intersectional approach focussing specifically on gender, race, culture, sexuality, disability and aging. Dr. Brotman works through the theoretical lenses of feminism and anti-oppression. Her work is supported by grants from SSHRC, CIHR, CQRS, FQRSC and Health Canada. Currently, Dr. Brotman is involved with two interdisciplinary research teams. The first, situated at UQAM addresses the health of sexual minority communities in Canada. The second, with CREGES, focuses upon aging, social exclusion and solidarity.
