" I aim to create spaces that facilitate strength-based, open conversations about sexual and reproductive health, to continue to provide people with the tools and language to feel empowered to advocate for their own health needs. "
Postdoctoral Fellow Profile: Amanda Rowlands
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Faculty of Health Sciences
Tell us about your research and why you find it fascinating
I study how social, structural, and environmental contexts of adolescence can affect reproductive development and sexual health outcomes among adolescent girls and young women. As part of my research, I prioritize community-led perspectives in understanding and addressing the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescent girls. Working with adolescent girls and young women to facilitate conversations on perspectives of their own health needs has been such a privilege - we have so much to learn from youth and young people.
What do you aspire to create/learn/accomplish during your time at SFU?
My research goals are to ultimately make positive impacts on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents in both Canada and globally, yet these goals extend to the academic and research communities I am actively engaged with. I aim to create spaces that facilitate strength-based, open conversations about sexual and reproductive health, to continue to provide people with the tools and language to feel empowered to advocate for their own health needs.
