Graduate Student Supervision
Research Supervision
I am currently supervising Master's Students in Counselling, as well as serving on committees for Masters and Doctoral students in Gender and Sexuality Studies and Migration Studies. I participate in research committees where I can offer guidance on:
- Qualitative Inquiry including narrative, dialogical, and ethnographic inquiry
- Collaborative community engaged approaches to inquiry
- Analysis of caring, helping, or assessment interactions
- Critical inquiry into intersectionality of oppressions in counselling or helping interactions
- Practices within schools that support the mental health of marginalized students
- Narrative or Dialogical inquiry into identity formation
- Queer, Transgender, LGBTQ mental health and identity formation
- Intersectionality and mental health (stigma, trauma, resilience, resistance)
- Mental Health and Survival Migration or Refugee Settlement
- Mindfulness & acceptance approaches to counselling and psychotherapy
- Constructivist & narrative approaches to counselling and psychotherapy
