Oyindamola Otubusen

Oyindamola Otubusen is a Physiotherapist, healthcare leader, and an emerging critical researcher. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from Olabisi Onabanjo University in Nigeria, followed by a Master's degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Manitoba in Canada. Currently, she is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Education at the University of Manitoba. Her research approach is influenced by her upbringing in the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which prioritizes collectivism over individualism. This foundational perspective shapes her commitment to collaborative and community-oriented research practices. Her scholarly interests are also shaped by personal and collective experiences related to anti-Black racism within Canadian higher education institutions. Motivated by a desire for transformation, Oyindamola engages critically with these issues through her research. Central to her scholarly journey is the African wisdom of Sankofa, which emphasizes the importance of learning from the past through critical reflection and historical inquiry. This principle informs her dedication to examining and challenging established narratives by exploring historical contexts and contemporary situations. In summary, her scholarly endeavors are characterized by a commitment to critical inquiry, community engagement, and the pursuit of transformative change within the field of Physiotherapy.
