Lori Chambers contributed to RAACWI research from 2006-2008 while a Research Assistant at Institute for Work & Health. She worked with other RAACWI researchers, Ellen MacEachen and Agnieszka Kosny, exploring the experiences of injured workers with protracted compensation claims as well as issues in return-to-work. She holds a Master's degree in Social Work at the University of Toronto with a specialization in physical and mental health, and is a Registered Social Worker. She continues to work in community-based research, and is currently involved in a number of research projects with communities affected by and living with HIV. Her current research is focused on HIV and housing, HIV and aging, and the experience of HIV-related stigma within the context of health.
