RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are human rights, strategies for community development and empowerment of diverse communities. I have published in the areas of asylum and refugee mental health, family violence, social justice issues with young unaccompanied minors facing deportation, refugee settlement, housing and refugee experiences of home and homemaking. I have a strong commitment to social justice, human rights, policy advocacy and practice leadership. My research includes service users and services established to support new arrivals and people from refugee backgrounds.
