Creating new opportunities for mobility is a team sport: lessons learned from the Inclusive Streetscapes project
9:30 AM - 10:00 AMBiography
A paediatrician and public health physician by training, Shanthi is a Professor of Public Health at the University of Auckland and Senior Researcher at Counties Manukau Health (Population Health Directorate and Kidz First Hospital). Her internationally recognized research focuses on transport and health, injury prevention, trauma care and disability. Her work is motivated by the challenging gaps between the rhetoric and reality of community wellbeing from an equity perspective. As she sees it, this has much to do with who is at the table and who is out of sight and out of mind. She has published widely and serves on multiple national and international advisory boards. She and her work with national and international collaborators have been recognised with the Te Manāia Leadership Award for Injury Prevention and the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award.
