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
