Joanna Rankin is an Associate Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, specializing in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies.

Drawing from a background in Critical Disability Studies and extensive front-line experience in the mental health sector, Dr. Rankin integrates her personal experiences with disability into her research. Her career goals aim to bridge theory and practice while enhancing methodological and ethical considerations in research.
