My teaching and research are in the areas of social justice and educational policy and leadership. I am particularly interested in the following areas equity policies, media and educational leadership, knowledge translation and exchange engaging youth through media production. Prior to coming to UBC in 2003 I served as the Communications Director for the BC Children’s Commission. I was also a political advisor to former Minister of Education, Art Charbonneau. I have worked with children, youth, journalists and educators to understand how to strategically engage with media and policymakers on critical issues of education. I am also interested in how children and youth could be included more in how they are represented in the media and in ensuring equitable resources for young people to create their own media. One of the courses I teach involves graduate students and high school students creating media collaboratively. Issues of social justice and equity are central to my work.
