BONNIELIN SWENOR is founder and director of the Johns
Hopkins Disability Health Research Center, which aims to shift
the paradigm from “living with a disability” to “thriving with a
disability” through research, education, and policy.
Dr. Swenor’s research is motivated by her personal experience with
low vision and takes a data-driven approach to advancing equity
for people with disabilities and promoting disability inclusion
and accessibility. Her work drives systemic-level change and spans
multiple domains, such as promoting health equity, access to
healthcare, economic mobility, education, and STEM careers for
people with disabilities.
Dr. Swenor, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins School of
Nursing, holds joint appointments at the School of Medicine’s
Wilmer Eye Institute and in the Department of Epidemiology at the
Bloomberg School of Public Health.
