Stéphane Grenier is a full Professor of Social Work at the School of Social Work, University of Quebec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT), based at the Val-d'Or Campus. He teaches core courses including Citizenship and Socioeconomic Inequalities (TSO1303), Analysis of Social Problems (TSO1203), and Social Intervention with Communities II (TSO2204), alongside specialized graduate seminars like Dynamics of Social Exclusion (TRS8305) and Holistic Practices in Indigenous Settings (TRS8425).
His academic credentials include a Doctorate in Applied Human Sciences from the University of Montreal (2009), a Master's in Social Intervention from UQAM (2002), and a Bachelor of Social Work from UQAM (2000). This educational trajectory established his foundation in community-based methodologies and critical social analysis.
Professor Grenier's research centers on Indigenous health disparities, social housing policies, and the structural dynamics of social exclusion. His current SSHRC-funded work investigates family factors in Indigenous homelessness, while his broader scholarship examines citizenship practices among marginalized populations through action research frameworks. He prioritizes fieldwork and community-engaged evaluation to develop emancipatory interventions.
His publication record (2000-2006) reveals consistent interdisciplinary engagement across social work, public health, and Indigenous studies. Key themes include mental health community practices, critical health technology assessment, and psychosocial rehabilitation models, all characterized by qualitative methodologies and community partnership approaches that challenge institutional exclusion mechanisms.
Major recognitions include an SSHRC Doctoral Scholarship ($40,000) and multiple Université de Montréal research grants supporting his doctoral work on citizenship and new social classes. His funding portfolio demonstrates sustained excellence in social science research design and implementation.
He secured significant research funding including a $300,000 CIHR operating grant (2006-2009) for Indigenous children's health research in Kitcisakik and Resosanté Colombie-Britanique contracts for Francophone healthcare accessibility studies. While specific advisees aren't listed, his teaching load indicates active mentorship in social work theory and practice.
Collaborating with researchers like Marguerite Loiselle and Michelin Potvin, he contributes to interdisciplinary teams addressing Indigenous health, mental health service delivery, and social policy reform. His work consistently involves community-based partnerships, particularly with Algonquin communities, reflecting his commitment to actionable, context-specific knowledge production.
