Dr. Forwell’s research interests lie in chronic neurological conditions and their impact on chosen occupations. Current projects include fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS); pain and fatigue in spinal cord injury (SCI); fatigue in traumatic brain injury (TBI); adults successfully living with MS; and significant life transitions. An inspiring curiosity and area of research and scholarship is that of investigating occupations and their meanings in society. Current research includes the occupations of immigrants who have children with a disability, and notions of occupational distress and power.
