  As a scientist-practitioner-advocate

  my research interests have emerged from my clinical expertise and social justice commitments. Three themes underlie my program of research: I examine how practitioners engage in multicultural practices

  employ empowerment-based approaches

  and promote social justice. For example

  in my dissertation

  I employed a grounded theory design and data analytic procedures in order to construct a substantive conceptual model that explained how self-identified feminist multicultural (FMC) psychotherapy supervisors conceptualized and practiced supervision. Specifically

  my interests lie in the areas of supervision provision; psychotherapy practice with diverse

  intersecting identities and statuses (e.g.

  sexual orientation

  gender diversity

  spirituality

  atheism); preventing the occurrence of

  healing from

  and promoting resilience for those with a history of trauma (e.g.

  university violence

  gender-based discrimination

  childhood maltreatment); as well as qualitative research

  particularly grounded theory.\n\nThe commitment to multicultural social justice that underlies my research is a springboard for my pedagogical approach. Thereby

  I acknowledge that truth is subjective

  emerges from social interaction

  and is embedded in a socially and historically constructed reality rife with oppression and power imbalances. My teaching approach emerges from a feminist pedagogical foundation. Therefore

  I seek to anticipate and manage classroom power dynamics

  be collaborative and transparent with students

  encourage reflexivity of biases and assumptions

  and attune to the implications of context. Regardless of the class

  I promote the fulfillment of three goals via the development of (a) active

  empowered learners; (b) critical consumers of psychological research; and (c) skills to apply classroom-based knowledge in the real world. \n
