The School of Social Work extends its warmest congratulations to Dr. Nancy Lin, who successfully defended her PhD in Social Work this month.
Supervised by Dr. Christiana Bratiotis, Dr. Lin’s research focuses on advancing health inclusion for people with (dis)abilities, with a particular emphasis on improving mental health accessibility for people with acquired brain injury. Her doctoral research explores cross-disciplinary approaches to adapting psychosocial supports to better accommodate brain injury-related (dis)ability, helping to make mental health care more accessible and inclusive.
As a healthcare social worker, Dr. Lin’s research interests also include evidence-based practice and epistemological pluralism. She was awarded a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship in support of her doctoral research and is affiliated with the UBC Centre for Collaborative Research on Hoarding and the Coping with Neurological Symptoms Lab.
Congratulations, Dr. Lin!
