Dr. E. Jean Buckler
Assistant Professor in Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education, University of Victoria
Dr. Buckler completed her PhD at the University of British Columbia (2019) in Kinesiology, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia’s School of Population and Public Health in the Mâsse Lab. Dr. Buckler’s primary research goal is to apply physical literacy to existent physical activity behaviour challenges and generate creative solutions to support engagement in positive movement behaviours at critical time points where movement behaviours are developing or threatened due to life transition, particularly early childhood, adolescence, and older adulthood. Dr. Buckler uses a combination of implementation science techniques, and community engaged research to develop interventions that have lasting impact on populations. Dr. Buckler’s work has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Mitacs. At the University of Victoria, Dr. Buckler teaches classes on community and population health, and physical literacy.
