Léa Ravensbergen

Assistant Professor, Earth, Environment & Society

Dr. Léa Ravensbergen is an Assistant Professor in the School of Earth, Environment & Society (SEES) at McMaster University. She received her PhD from the University of Toronto in 2020, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University, McMaster University, and the University of Oxford. Her critical transport research explores how cities can foster more sustainable transport systems in an equitable manner. She uses a combination of qualitative (interviews, mobile ethnography, participatory mapping, observations) and quantitative (survey analysis, GIS) methods to uncover barriers to walking, cycling, and public transport. Much of her recent work has focused on gender-equity in active travel and age-friendly transport planning.
