Raphael Lencucha is an Associate Professor at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ in Montreal Canada. The thrust of his research has been to understand how intersectoral issues impact the pursuit of health policy with an emphasis on tobacco governance, intersectoral policy, and global health policy. Since 2012 he has been working with colleagues to investigate the economic livelihoods of tobacco farmers and the political economy of alternatives to tobacco growing in countries around the world. He has worked closely with Intergovernmental Organizations (UNDP, WHO) and most recently has been involved in developing the toolkit for Article 17 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control that deals with alternatives to tobacco growing. Raphael teaches a cross-disciplinary public policy and qualitative research in the graduate program at the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy. He also serves as a faculty advisor to the Interprofessional Global Health Course, which is a student-led no-credit course offered within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ. Raphael is passionate about education, ideas, and the pursuit of a more unified world.
