Research
I'm curious about somatic approaches to processing and growth experiences related to the ways traumatic affect circulates within and between systems; individual, collective, and institutional stamina development for sustained justice, equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility (JEDIA) work; and strengths-based approaches to leisure, recreation, and athletic conditioning methodology that are grounded in culturally-relevant systems of meaning.

A reflexivity-centered approach to supporting course participants in making complex, ethical and theoretical decisions in practice contexts.

This course will examine the policies, politics, perceptions and practices related to managing recreation, sport and physical activity programs that occur in or engage indigenous communities.
