Research Interest
In my research program, I seek to advance a critical understanding of social disparities and symptom burden in palliative populations. Palliative care and global health are the two main research areas of my program. I also collaborate with nursing educational projects that follow critical pedagogical approaches. Study populations include terminally ill people (cancer) and communities affected by severe global disparities. In my research, I endeavour to engage collaboratively health care providers. My research approaches are informed by the human sciences philosophical tradition (interpretive inquiry) and participatory and critical perspectives.
