Ronald Buliung

Ron Buliung is a Professor in the Department of Geography, Geomatics and Environment at the University of Toronto Mississauga, and the Graduate Chair of the University of Toronto’s tri-campus Graduate Programs in Geography and Planning. He holds a PhD in Urban Geography from McMaster University. Ron has dedicated his career to studying the experiences of children and youth in cities. Early on, his work centred on the journey to school, and how school travel connects with and impacts childhood health. During the past decade, however, he has re-oriented his research program to focus almost exclusively on the various ways in which disability and ableism are produced by and are embedded within the institutions that govern and make the places within cities where we live, work, play, and learn.
