About

Research Interests

Adult education, Gender Studies, Policy, Social justice, Workplace learning

Bio

I retired as July 2017 after 25 years of teaching and research at UBC. I joined the Department of Educational Studies in 1997 and taught courses in the foundations (history and philosophy) of adult education, community-based adult education, leadership and policy, feminist approaches to social justice, research methodology, and teacher education. My teaching included advising many masters and doctoral students. My research interests are diverse with much attention given to studies of women’s learning in a number of contexts including government employment programs, on-the-job learning, as well as social movements. I also have undertaken critical policy studies, examining how policy shapes everyday experiences and practices of education and have been a research associate of the Canadian Centre for Policy Studies since 1997. Community-based, participatory, and arts-based methodologies are a strong interest of mine that I bring to both my research and my teaching

Research Projects

Community Service-Learning in Canadian Higher Education Current
 

I was the co-investigator (working with Dr. Alison Taylor) of this project which is funded by a SSHRC Knowledge Synthesis Grant which focused on exploring “What new ways of learning in higher education (HE) will Canadians need to thrive in an evolving society and labour market?” We reviewed the CSL literature to determine the following: 1) How can service learning be delivered in universities and colleges to enhance student engagement and outcomes? 2) How does CSL contribute to new ways of learning fostering greater knowledge and competency in critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication of complex ideas and data? 3) What are promising practices to ensure access to and/or mobility within Canadian education for a diverse student body including persons with disabilities, adult learners, international students and immigrants? 4) What institutional structures and supports are necessary for CSL to flourish?
You can download the SSHRC report at URL: https://open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collections/facultyresearchandpublications/52383/items/1.0226035″>here.

This project led to a TLEF funded initiative beginning in 2017 that is documenting the experiences of students, faculty, and community partners of service learning. Working in partnership with the UBC Learning Exchange, the goal is to generate principles for building and sustaining successful partnerships.

The Arts-Based Social Movement Learning of the Philippine Women Centre of BC Current
 

The purpose of this SSHRC funded (2010-2014) action-oriented case study was to explore the arts-based social movement learning, specifically the visual and performance art created by Filipino activists in Canada, to understand: a) how and why particular creative genres were chosen and how they inform learning, b) how these creative processes and products contribute to the development of artists’ political consciousness, identity and a sense of community, and c) the link between arts-based learning and political activism. My study in partnership with the Philippine Women’s Centre of BC with Kim Villagante a PWC member who served as the main Research Assistant throughout the project; we focused on the creation of three political fashion shows.

Women’s Alternate and Informal Learning Pathways to Jobs in the IT Sector Completed
 

This was a case study women’s alternate and informal learning pathways to IT jobs, one of 12 case studies in of an Initiatives for the New Economy network grant (SSHRC). I partnered with a non-profit organization in Ontario (ACTEW).

Welfare Reform and Access to Adult Education Completed
 

I have completed two studies as a Research Associate of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA); both studies examined welfare reform in BC and the impact of such policy on access to adult education and learning opportunities for recipients of welfare support. They can be downloaded from the CCPA website.

Community Work

Linking with communities is central to my research practice. From 2003 to 2007, I partnered with ACTEW: A Commitment to Women’s Training and Employment for Work, to study women’s informal and alternate learning pathways to IT jobs. Between 2006 and 2009 I served as external evaluator for the National Alliance for Philippine Women of Canada (NAPWC), examining their project “Making the Filipino Community Count”. Community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) was the main organizing method employed by the NAPWC. I was greatly impressed with their creative use of CBPAR and their persistent critical analysis of policy and how it contributes to (and can transform) structural inequalities that support economic marginalization, racism, and sexism.

My research with NAPWC led to a partnership with the Philippine Women’s Centre of BC where we explored their use of arts-based activities and my research into their use of Political Fashion Shows.

In many other earlier research projects, I collaborated with a variety of community groups including the Poor Women’s Collective (Surrey) and the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre, among others.
