Research Focus
Dr. Alisa Grigorovich is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at Brock University and an Affiliate Scientist at the KITE Research Institute, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network. Her research program focuses on the interrelationship of leisure, aging and wellbeing, with particular attention to uncovering how inequality and social exclusion is perpetuated and maintained. A core aspect of her scholarship involves translation of research findings into arts-based and digital knowledge innovations to advance social inclusion of older adults and carers from historically excluded and marginalized groups. She is currently engaged in interdisciplinary and community-oriented research in two areas: 1) Technology to enhance wellbeing and quality of care; and 2) Leisure for human flourishing in dementia care.
