Dr. Paul Peters (PhD, U. Texas at Austin) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences, Carleton University, Ottawa Canada. The essence of his research is on the study of small rural places in a context of enduring structural inequities and extensive social inequalities. His rural research funded by SSHRC, CIHR, and other agencies focusses on inequalities in life expectancy, small-area demographic change, frequent hospital users, and accessibility of health services using a patient- and community-engaged approach. He is a Co-Director of the Free Range International Knowledge Partnership and Principal Investigator for the Rural Research: Information, Statistics, and Knowledge (Rural R:ISK) project.
