My research centres on community resilience as well as the role of social work in combating the climate crisis. This often takes the form of looking at community mental health, trauma and eco-grief. I have experience working with vulnerable populations as well as community groups within a research and teaching capacity. I primarily work within interdisciplinary settings and work with ecologists, health psychologists, public health, geographers, sociologists, anthropologists and archaeologists. I work within the umbrella of qualitative methods and have experience with focus groups, in depth interviews, photo-voice and autoethnography. I have extensive international networks in Canada, Japan, Botswana, Colombia, USA, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand
