Ted's academic background is in political science, and for the past decade his research has addressed the consequences of transnational economic integration (globalisation) for health and health equity; he also has a long-standing interest in issues at the interface of science, ethics, law and public policy. Ted has taught environmental studies, political science and population health (from an interdisciplinary perspective) at three Canadian universities, and also worked for many years as a legislative researcher and public policy consultant.
