My ongoing research program is thus grounded in a social identity theoretical framework for studying health among potentially vulnerable populations (e.g., older adults living with dementia, caregivers, individuals who have experienced stigma, discrimination, trauma, or illness) in order to transform understandings of psychosocial care and improve mental health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"select-publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Select publications:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>View a complete list of publications on <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.ca\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=41Kr0zMAAAAJ&amp;view_op=list_works&amp;sortby=pubdate\">Google Scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    \n    <dl class=\"cu-description cu-component-updated\">\n        \n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-faculty-fun-fact\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Faculty fun fact\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-faculty-fun-fact\">\n            \n\nDuring her undergraduate degree in Psychology, Renate minored in French Language &amp; Literature in Southern France for a year, where she learned to appreciate fine wine, French cuisine, and the valuable contribution that the study of humanities can make to understanding human health and well-being, for a truly interdisciplinary approach.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/dl>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2648,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Renate","cu_people_last_name":"Ysseldyk","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[43],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-5437","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-graduate-academic-admin"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"interim HSTP Coordinator","cu_people_degree":"PhD (Carleton)","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"renate.ysseldyk@carleton.ca","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/identity\/","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/5437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/5437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5457,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/5437\/revisions\/5457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=5437"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=5437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
