Aristide Tchangou Wépandjoué
Master's student, Health Sciences Research Scholar,
Schorlarship - Institut universitaire de première ligne en santé et services sociaux
Aristide is a student in the Maîtrise Recherche en Sciences de la Santé program at the Université de Sherbrooke's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. A geographer by training, he is interested in socio-spatial dynamics, social inequalities in health and the socio-sanitary risks associated with the development of technical networks (electricity, mobile telephony). For his Maîtrise Sc. project, he is using “go-along” methods to understand the lived experiences of green spaces by young adults in Sherbrooke and the implications for their mental health. He aims to document the presence and extent of socio-spatial inequalities in accessibility to green spaces among this group of people. In the long term, it hopes to contribute to the creation of non-discriminatory health policies that take into account the health concerns of all social groups.
