Research Interests
My work is focused on the relational transformation that happens in contexts where young people are gathering within spaces informed by a commitment to relational well-being and are working on issues of eco-social health equity. This will include how diverse epistemic knowledge and values are engaged with, how relational transformation is a protective factor to burnout while working in this space, and the specificity of how contexts and places inform this relational transformation. I am curious about how this is happening in both hyperlocal contexts and international/transnational contexts (where people are gathering from across countries and what what works in one context may not work in another).
