Tonino Esposito

Tonino Esposito, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at the Université de Montréal and Adjunct Professor at McGill University’s School of Social Work, and holds a Tier II Canadian Research Chair (CRC) in Social Services for Vulnerable Children.  He is also a board member of the Canadian Child Welfare League of Canada and Associate Editor of Child Abuse & Neglect.  His work is focused on better understanding the broader systemic, socioeconomic, and neighbourhood factors that keep children chronically involved in child welfare and negatively impact parental capacity. Many of his CRC lead projects consider the trajectories and outcomes of children involved with child welfare, as well as the influences of social spending, socioeconomic vulnerabilities, and neighbourhood-level services on children and families.
