Are you contributing to stigma? | Clarisse Paron | TEDxDalhousieU

Clarisse Paron shares some ways that a critical disability perspective can shed light on the way that mental health is stigmatized and misunderstood by society. Clarisse started in academia by completing a bachelor’s in science with aspirations to become a medical doctor. After discovering the field of bioethics (the ethics of medicine and medical research), she pursued a master’s and doctorate in philosophy to study ethical theory. Her science background has proved invaluable for understanding where ethical issues might arise in a medical context.

Clarisse is passionate about patient autonomy—one’s ability to live according to their values, beliefs, and preferences. Her research advocates for ways that healthcare providers and institutions can better support patient decision-making and respect autonomy. Specifically, her research considers marginalized populations and how unique social positions impact autonomy.

In her spare time, Clarisse shares her love for fitness by teaching aquasize, bootcamp, and spin classes. Her favourite pastime is trying a new restaurant or café with her friends and family. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
