|
| Caroline Fusco received her undergraduate degree and teaching certification in physical education and health at the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland in 1986 and taught for four years in the public school system in Northern Ireland. After moving to Canada in 1990 she completed a Master’s of Science at the University of Manitoba in 1995 and subsequently taught in the Faculty of Physical Education & Recreation Studies at the University of Manitoba for three years. In 1998, she began her doctoral studies in the Graduate Department of Community Health, Program Exercise Sciences at the University of Toronto. She received a SSHRC four-year Doctoral Fellowship (1998-2002) for her doctoral program. Caroline graduated with her PhD from the University of Toronto in June 2003 and was awarded a SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship in (2003-2005) and Post-Doctoral Fellowship from CIHR’s Strategic Training Program in Health Care, Technology and Place (2003-2004), to study at the Institute for Women’s Studies and Gender Studies at the University of Toronto. Caroline's proposed study, which examines the intersections of health educaiton, health sciences, cultural geographics, and women's studies, is a research initiative that bridges perspectives in the study of healthy lifestyles, adoleescent girls, and sites for active living. The postdoctoral study will draw on feminist, anti-racist and trans-national theories of identity, the body and the organization and regulation of spaces and the production of a healthy social citizenry to account for the diversity of adolescent girls living in Toronto. |
