FutureSeries 02 with Erin Keough
Sunday, 9 August, 2026
On this episode of the FutureSeries, we speak with Erin! Erin Keough (M.Sc.Kin, M.Sc.A.PT., PT, MS2) is trained physical therapist and now medical student. Erin holds two master’s degrees: one in Kinesiology from Memorial University of Newfoundland and one in Physical Therapy from McGill University. Erin has taught multiple courses at Memorial University, and guest lectured at McGill University and the University of Valencia. Erin also received the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council award for her dedicated research on experiential learning through internships. Her current research projects include anti-oppressive documentation and equitable health research. Erin was diagnosed with a chronic disability in 2016 and since then has used her lived experiences as a platform to deconstruct disability politics and pedagogies. This led Erin to become a co-founder of Justice Centered Rehab, an organization created to bring awareness to social justice and health inequity around the world. Here, Erin used her lived-experiences to deconstruct social norms and decolonize healthcare in her area. Erin is also a regular guest lecturer at McGill University at the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy where she lectures about colonial history in healthcare and decolonization strategies.
