Nadine Ijaz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University. Her work critically interrogates the epistemic, socio-cultural, and economic evidentiary complexities associated with governing therapeutic pluralism. Dr. Ijaz’s interdisciplinary research field encompasses traditional and Indigenous complementary integrative medicine (TCIM) and draws from medical sociology, anthropology, (postcolonial feminist) science technology studies, and critical policy studies. Her research highlights contentious questions around epistemic injustice, health care, risk discourse, and cultural misappropriation within the policy sphere. Currently, she is working on a project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research that examines whether there is a paradigm shift towards a new physician specialty in integrative medicine in North America. Dr. Ijaz leads the TCIM Lab, a research hub dedicated to studies in therapeutic pluralism and also focuses on health professional regulation and issues of epistemic hybridity in cultural misappropriation.
