Welcome to new Trainee: Chloe Wong-Mersereau<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The CDTRP’s Education and Training Platform is growing, and we’re pleased to welcome our newest member, Chloe Wong-Mersereau<\/strong>. Chloe completed a Masters in Medical Anthropology at University of Toronto and is part of Theme 1 – Create a Culture of Donation. Her project is entitled “Temporalities of Cure: A qualitative study of psychosocial support needs and long-term survivorship in liver transplantation” and is supervised by Dr. Suze Berkhout.<\/p>\n

Education and Training Platform Manager, Manuel Escoto, caught up recently with Chloe to understand more about what her goals are for being a trainee with the CDTRP.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What are your fields of expertise and interests in research?<\/h5>\n
\n

I recently completed my master\u2019s degree in social-cultural anthropology at the University of Toronto on crisis-narratives and the lived experience of working in times of crisis with vulnerable peoples through the Canadian Red Cross during the COVID-19 pandemic. My research interests include innovating qualitative and ethnographic research methodologies that pair critical discourse analysis of documents with people\u2019s lived experiences and stories. As a Chinese Canadian, I am particularly interested in bringing forward the voices and perspectives of BIPOC communities and marginalized peoples within healthcare systems and institutions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What new areas of interest would you like to develop or with which different disciplines or specialist(s) would you like to collaborate within the CDTRP?<\/h5>\n
\n

I am eager to collaborate with people with lived experience in donation and transplantation to develop interdisciplinary and multimodal ways of producing and sharing knowledge through sensory-ethnographic storytelling and arts-based methods. I hope to connect with people from various disciplines and fields to co-create and co-produce research projects that bridge the gaps between the social sciences, sciences, and arts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tell us a fun fact about yourself!<\/h5>\n
\n

In between my undergraduate and master\u2019s studies, I started a podcast called (R)aging Asians to speak with people from various backgrounds to trouble stereotypes and categories of \u201cAsianness.\u201d In a community series of ten episodes, people talk about their lived experience aging and navigating their evolving identities and connections to their communities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>
