Biography

Jasmine Hwang is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary and a gerontological nurse researcher. Her clinical background spans gerontology and community nursing in interdisciplinary primary care, home care, and supportive living, where she partnered with older adults and families from diverse backgrounds, including those experiencing social and health vulnerabilities. 

Jasmine leads the REIMAGINE Research Program (Relational Engagement and Inclusive Models for Aging and Dementia Care), a community-engaged program of research that partners with people living with dementia, care partners, clinicians, students, artists, advocates, and community organizations to advance more inclusive dementia care. Her work integrates qualitative inquiry, participatory and arts-based approaches, and knowledge mobilization to challenge stigma, amplify lived experiences, and foster narrative change across healthcare, education, and the broader community. Through close collaboration with community partners, she seeks to co-create innovative approaches that improve access to dementia care while transforming how society understands and responds to dementia.
