Students

Recruitment

I have current funding for doctoral students and am seeking curious future scholars committed to understanding and addressing inequalities in child and family wellbing. I strongly encourage applications from underrepresented and traditionally excluded scholars, including racialized, Indigenous, and first generation students. I am committed to offering a challenging yet supportive learning environment that is informed by my efforts to build my own teaching and mentoring capacity to support students who are different than me.
