I am dedicated to seek out practicum experiences that support the competency development of the MAN students. Additionally, I am interested in exploring if simulated learning exercises could accelerate competency attainment.
My research will contribute to our fundamental understanding of the role of nutrition in disease prevention and strategies to implement change working through families.
Jennifer's research is concerned with the roles of institutions, markets, and technologies in environmental governance. Topically, many of her projects have centered on oceans, marine resource management, and coastal and Indigenous communities.
I am interested in the diverse knowledge systems and participatory approaches (citizen science, youth engagement, community-based monitoring, Indigenous guardians, etc.) that contribute to community-led environmental decision making in resource-based and remote communities.
I examine professional interactions in the context of therapy. I use discourse and conversation analysis to study the micro-details of social interaction.
The problems I have worked on in animal science have direct implications for genetic selection, food quality (e.g. cow milk), and animal health. On the other hand, my work in understanding the structure and driving mechanisms of ecological (e.g. plant-pollinator) networks have indirect implications for ecosystem conservation, management, and restoration.
