I conduct research for impact by collaborating with community and academic partners to understand and solve complex social issues. I research and write about consent, masculinity, normative heterosexuality, gender-based violence, and other gender-equity and social justice issues. I have 14 years of experience managing multi-year, mixed-method projects ranging from random sample surveys to qualitative, participatory, and arts-based studies and program evaluations.
I am also an effective educator and knowledge mobilizer with 10+ years of experience engaging diverse audiences and using research findings to drive change and evidence-based practice.
