Celeste Pang

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities at Mount Royal University. My research, education, and community work focus on aging, disability, and care access and equity, with significant focus on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues.

Before joining MRU I completed a PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto, and worked as a community-based researcher.
