Adam R. Houston serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Humanitarian Studies program and works as the medical policy & advocacy advisor for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières Canada. His career bridges academic research and field advocacy, with documented experience in Haiti, the Pacific Islands, and across Canada through organizations including the Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation and Avocats sans frontières Canada. His educational qualifications demonstrate interdisciplinary expertise: PhD in Law, University of Ottawa (2022) LL.M in Health Law - Global Health & Justice, University of Washington (2013) MA in Global Development Studies, Queen's University (2012) Juris Doctor, University of Victoria (2007) Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Psychology, University of Alberta (2003) Dr. Houston's research centers on the critical intersection of health, human rights, and global development, with specialized focus on global health governance, infectious disease law and policy, and access to medicines. He investigates the practical application of global health principles—particularly the human right to health—in high-income contexts, emphasizing Canadian policy through lenses of pharmaceutical regulation, public health law, and equity frameworks. His work consistently connects theoretical human rights principles to real-world health system challenges. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2017-2024) reveals three dominant thematic clusters: global vaccine equity during the COVID-19 pandemic (examining Canada's policy gaps), tuberculosis treatment access challenges, and intellectual property barriers affecting medicine availability. His scholarship demonstrates methodological diversity spanning legal analysis, policy critique, and historical case studies, with consistent emphasis on Canadian accountability in global health governance and the tension between international rhetoric and domestic implementation. While no formal scientific awards appear in the source materials, his impactful advocacy in the Haitian cholera litigation against the United Nations represents significant real-world contribution to health justice. His current MSF Canada role focuses on high-level policy advocacy rather than academic advising, though his research directly informs operational health programming in humanitarian contexts. Dr. Houston maintains active collaboration with international NGOs including Doctors Without Borders, Avocats sans frontières Canada, and the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti. His field-based perspective—shaped by work in resource-limited and post-disaster settings—provides foundational context for his academic contributions to humanitarian health policy and global health governance reform.
