In this episode of our mini-series, we talk to Dr. Elif Sari about how the notion of âbecoming sickâ is related to peopleâs migration experiences, especially those who are part of the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community. Dr. Sari discusses how this notion is rooted in the idea of harsh working environments and discriminatory practices of healthcare. She also addressed how both of these factors contribute to the emotional and physical wellbeing of these people.
Guest bio:

Hosted by Dr. Marina Adshade and Damara Featherstone, this mini-series aims to find out what every womenâs health researcher should know about socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic status is a combination of economic factorsâlike income, education and occupationâand social factors including gender, race, country of origin, and much more. By talking with experts in the arts and humanities, we will get to the bottom of this question, and show how important it is that we all work together, to improve womenâs health.
Join us every second Wednesday of the month starting September 14th for 5 information packed episodes!

Biographies:
Dr. Paula Gordon is a breast radiologist and professor at the University of British Columbia. She is also a tireless advocate for screening and ultrasound for women with dense breasts starting at age 40 -- options that are not available in most provinces. Dr. Gordon believes that too many women are denied mammograms at 40 because family doctors have not received accurate information. The work she has done in partnership with the organization Dense Breasts Canada (DBC) has been in service of getting accurate information into the hands of patients and their doctors so that women can have the best chance of catching and treating cancers early.
Jennie Dale is the Executive Director of Dense Breasts Canada (DBC). She lives in Ontario. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2014. Mammogram and tomosynthesis did not detect her cancer-it was detected by ultrasound. Inspired by the successful advocacy efforts of American organizations, "areyoudense.org" and "densebreast-info.org," Jennie co-founded DBC with Michelle DiTomaso in 2017 and has teamed up with breast cancer survivors nationwide to raise awareness of the risks of dense breasts. Together, over the past four years, they have successfully advocated for changes in policy in many Canadian provinces.
