Sustainable occupational therapy: "Glocalizing" our knowledge, praxis, and professionalization
Last 24 Nov 2024, I conducted a special lecture at the 2024 PAOT Convention (on-line) held in Clark, Philippines. My objectives were:
1. Describe the concepts of 'sustainability’ and ‘glocalization’ in occupational therapy from a critical perspective
​
2. Frame sustainable practice in OT from Aristotle’s dimensions of knowledge—episteme, techne, and phronesis
​
3. Propose strategies on how to sustain occupational therapy knowledge, practice, and professionalisation in today’s modern world

Milestones
Dr. Sy’s exceptional doctoral dissertation exemplifies the very spirit of interprofessional collaboration, boldly pushing the boundaries of interprofessional knowledge and practice.
The winning research paper is entitled “Contemporary history: progress and resilience of occupational therapy in the Philippines (2004–2020)” (Sy, Yao, Panotes, Kaw & Mendoza, 2023).
I am happy to share a magazine feature published in May 2024 about my life as an immigrant researcher in Switzerland.
