My research interests and passions involve the use of arts-based research methodologies as a form of activism for social justice and as a way to highlight the voices of marginalized individuals, groups & communities. Over the past 14 years, I have facilitated numerous community-based, photovoice projects with marginalized populations, including individuals working in sex trades, LGBTQ+ immigrants and refugees, LGBTQ+ former foster youth, and grandparent caregivers. Interdisciplinary perspectives from social work, gender & sexuality studies and sociology intersect to shape my interest in: critical pedagogies, transnational issues, empowerment, social justice and diversity, anti-oppressive and de-colonizing research and practice methods, critical feminist and queer theory, visual and public sociology, community engagement, and social activism through the arts.
