My research expertise and areas of publication reflect my interdisciplinary interests and background. Currently my work focuses on the following topics and themes:
- Public Relations
- Civil Society
- Surveillance
- Media and Social Problems
- Communication and Public Health
- Public Engagement and Consultation
- Community-Based Research
- Qualitative Methods
Beyond my teaching and research I am active community-based researcher who has worked in partnership with nonprofits in the anti-poverty, homelessness and public health sectors. I also work in a consultancy capacity as a communications and media strategist – clients have included organizations in the NGO, government and corporate sectors.
