Currently Teaching

Not currently teaching any courses.

Interests

My current scholarly activities include exploring (a) the experiences of mothering in the context of intimate partner abuse, (b) discourses of gender, and (c) theoretical topics in the psychology of gender (e.g., how intimate partner abuse is theorized; theories of power in the psychology of gender). I have been involved in two large empirical projects related to violence against women, one on intimate partner abuse and the other on preventing sexual assault, and continue to work on data analysis and knowledge translation for these projects. A recent interest is in women and aging. I conduct research within the framework of feminist, critical psychology, and much of this research adopts the theoretical and methodological framework of discusirve psychology.
