Michael J. Widener是多伦多大学地理与规划系的长聘教授、系主任，交通与健康领域的加拿大研究主席，兼任多伦多大学Dalla Lana公共卫生学院流行病学系的跨学科教授。
Widener教授是国际知名的健康地理学家，他的研究聚焦于公众健康与人类移动性、交通系统和城市规划的互动过程和机理。他主持多项由SSHRC（加拿大社会科学与人文学科研究委员会）、CIHR（加拿大卫生研究院）及各类基金资助的科研项目，探索了时间、交通选择以及家庭分工如何影响食品可及性、饮食行为和食品不安全问题。他的其他研究集中在住房、移民与健康之间的关系，以及如何利用先进的地理空间技术（如GPS）为城市和公共卫生政策提供有价值的见解。Widener教授讲授地理信息科学、健康数据制图和空间统计学方面的本科和研究生课程。
Widener教授也是Health & Place期刊的共同主编，担任CIHR评审委员会成员，联合领导欧洲通信与交通活动研究者网络（NECTAR）中的社会与健康因素研究小组。他是Geographical Analysis、Information Geography和Discover Social Science and Health等期刊的编辑委员会成员。
Michael J. Widener is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto - St. George, where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Transportation and Health. Professor Widener also holds a cross-appointment in the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
Professor Widener is a health geographer whose research focuses on how public health affects, and is affected by, movement, transportation systems, and urban planning. He has led several SSHRC, CIHR, and foundation funded projects that explore how time pressure, transportation options, and divisions of household labour impact access to food, dietary behaviours, and food insecurity. Additional studies are focused on the links between housing, migration, and health, and on how advanced geospatial technologies (like GPS) can be used to provide useful insights for urban and public health policy. In the classroom, Professor Widener teaches courses on geographic information science, mapping health data, and spatial statistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Outside of UofT, Professor Widener is co-Editor in Chief of the journal Health & Place, serves as a member of CIHR’s College of Reviewers, co-leads the Social and Health Factors Cluster of the Network of European Communication & Transportation Activity Researchers and sits on the editorial boards of Geographical Analysis, Information Geography, and Discover Social Science and Health.
在日益城市化的世界中，随着越来越多的家庭和老年人将城市作为他们的家，地理学家在理解我们如何组织社区，以及这种组织方式如何影响我们的健康与福祉方面，扮演着至关重要的角色。我们不仅需要理解直接影响健康的服务和设施的空间分布——如医生诊所和医院；我们还需要理解塑造我们日常活动的“上游”场所——如生鲜超市、住房和托儿所——如何保障人们的健康与福祉。本次讲座将展示近年来进行的一些研究，这些研究重点探索了日常空间和场所与健康福祉结果之间的关系。主讲人还将重点介绍时间地理学和社区参与方法作为两个框架，如何帮助生成有用且可操作的研究结果，从而为政策变革提供支持。
In an increasingly urbanized world, with more and more families and older adults calling cities their home, geographers have a critical role to play in understanding how the ways we organize our communities impact our health and well-being. Not only do we need to understand the geography of important services and facilities that impact our health – like doctors’ offices and hospitals; we also need to understand how “upstream” places that shape our everyday activities – like grocery stores, housing, and daycares – enable people to be healthy and thrive. This lecture will present a few studies conducted over the past few years that focus on exploring how everyday spaces and places are associated with various outcomes related to health and well-being. Professor Widener will also highlight the use of time geographic and community-engaged methods as two frameworks that help generate useful and useable findings to inform policy changes.
