Most of my academic work relates to health promotion and community health. As a researcher, I am currently developing projects in Canada and Spain in the areas of gender and migration as social determinants of health (see projects listed below). My scholarship also focuses on qualitative and participatory methodologies, being supported by poststructuralist and critical social theories. My publications are written in English, Spanish or Portuguese (see below).
Over the last few years, I have taught courses in the fields of community health, global health, and qualitative research at the undergraduate, master and doctoral levels. Presently, I teach NUR 1024 – Foundations of Qualitative Inquiry and NUR 1028 – Introduction to Qualitative Research. My current educational projects include being associate director of CQ which oversees the delivery of the Essentials of Qualitative Research Series, an integrated series of Master and PhD courses for students from all health sciences disciplines, doing international capacity building for health research, and being the Faculty Coordinator for the International Nursing PhD Collaboration (INPhD) which involves nursing faculties from Canada, Spain, Mexico, Finland, Brazil and Australia. |
