Sanne Kaas-Mason is an educator and researcher in health profession education research (HPER) with a PhD from the Wilson Centre at the University of Toronto. She began her academic journey teaching undergraduate health and social care learners about the opportunities and challenges of working together with colleagues who are trained in different clinical programs. The experience of helping learners build bridges of collaboration across differences led her to her doctoral research on the intersecting aspects of power, knowledge, and technology in epistemic collaborations. During her PhD, Sanne started teaching in graduate and continuing professional development programs.  er program of research focuses on collaborative work in a health and social care system that is shifting towards community-located care and service. She has a specific interest in understanding how providers navigate inequities or hierarchical distributions of power, including when non-co-located collaborative practice is mediated by digital technologies. Sanne employs qualitative research methodologies, most often underpinned by critical and sociomaterial conceptual lenses.
