About my research…

My research focuses on social justice issues and can be described as community engaged research (CEnR). It is engaged in the sense that it involves community-university collaborations in identifying, conducting and applying social research.

How my research improves life…

By working together with community partners and students, we attempt to co-create knowledge by directly addressing problems and issues related to social justice issues facing communities. Additional research focuses on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) and examines the process and outcomes of teaching and learning to improve student learning, the student & community partner experience, and educational quality.

Why choose U of G grad studies…
