"My particular area of interest and experience is in the development of projects founded on and commensurate with Indigenous research practices and principles.

I am not of Aboriginal or Metis descent but have worked extensively with the First Peoples of Canada. I am also concerned with research that is transformative for those engaging with a project and the use of research as a means to achieve some outcome for social justice.

I am currently focusing on "Lora's book."    When I worked in provincial and federal prisons in B.C., I got to know Lora, an indiginous Ojibwe woman from Ontario.  I walked with her in her journey toward wellness - both during her  period of recurrning incarceration and in her post-incarceration period prior to her death.  She asked me to write her story.  I am writing her story as a book chronicling the relationship between two women.  This book will be a general interest book for people interested in incarceration and hope in addition to a "teaching memoir" for academics.
