My research interests include community based participatory research projects within an intersectional research team; in the areas of marginalized and at risk youth experiences with issues of sexual exploitation; eating disorders; youth justice and health, violence and the support needs of girls and women. My most recent research is focused on culturally safe and anti-oppressive field education for Aboriginal students; as well as creating a youth health research agenda within an intersectional approach including gender, culture, and geography. I am the founder and Director of the Centre for Community-Based Youth Health Research at TRU and through the Centre support research related to youth health in rural communities and small cities in partnership with community, and youth themselves
