Monica Hoger

I am a second-year Master of Public Policy student. My research and policy interests include the intersections between health, the environment, and various social policy issues, such as housing and LGBTQIA rights. Having worked for the Fraser Health Authority from May to August 2023, I have become especially concerned with the impact that the social determinants of health, such as food security and access to natural environments have on our overall well-being.

My extended policy project examines and compares artificial intelligence (AI) legislation between the European Union and Canada, primarily how each jurisdiction's bills are prepared to address challenges regarding healthcare, such as the management of healthcare data and addressing biases. I hope to further my knowledge of AI and its impacts on health and the environment in my future work.
