My primary research aim is to critique political and social structures that impact social policy and communities. My current research examines the intersection of policies and programs that address LGBTQ+ health equity through community action and policy development that addresses the social determinants of health. I am also currently contributing to the development of Queer Liberation Theory, an emerging framework for understanding class dimensions of LGBTQ+ oppression.
My previous research examined educational supports and services for postsecondary students with learning disabilities, explored Indigenous and northern experiences with health and social services, analyzed controversies within Ontario’s sex education curriculum, and developed historical perspectives on the gay/queer liberation movement.
