Kate Dupuis

Dr. Kate Dupuis is the Schlegel Innovation Leader in Arts and Aging at the Centre for Elder Research at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, and a Professor in the Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies. Her role is supported by the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo, Ontario.

Kate is a Clinical Neuropsychologist and a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of arts, health, and aging. In her research, Kate seeks to understand how the arts can benefit all domains of health and well-being, including cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being, and how we can encourage and foster creativity and innovation both in older adults, and in those who care for them. She works with older adults living in the community, as well as in communal settings such as retirement and long-term care homes.
