Dr. Suzanne Hindmarch

Biography

Dr. Suzanne Hindmarch is a scholar of global politics whose research spans global health, security studies, and critical theories of global politics. She has particular expertise in the politics of infectious disease. Her research program, funded by SSHRC and CIHR grants, investigates the origins, impacts, and efficacy of political policy strategies that global actors pursue to address infectious disease at global, national, and sub-national levels. Ongoing projects examine the conditions of health equity-deserving groups including Indigenous, racialized, and LGBTQIA+ populations in the global South, particularly in relation to advanced infectious disease responses and health security contexts. Dr. Hindmarch studies the interface of global and domestic infectious disease governance, exploring how strategies are adopted, adapted, and resisted by state and non-state actors in advancing priorities within global health governance mechanisms. She is the author of "Securing Health: HIV Limits Securitization" and co-editor of "Seeing Red: HIV/AIDS Public Policy in Canada", with numerous publications focusing on both global and domestic politics surrounding antimicrobial resistance and HIV/AIDS. Dr. Hindmarch teaches courses in international relations, global health, and global security and is a faculty member in the Gender and Women’s Studies interdisciplinary program. She is open to supervising graduate students with research interests in global health politics and critical security studies, particularly those addressing health equity concerning gender, sexual minorities, and racialized and Indigenous populations in the global South.
