My research interests focus on the social organisation of the everyday life of women and other marginalised groups in specific institutions, and the cognitive schemata they use to make sense of this reality. The epistemological tradition that guides my research is based on a feminist understanding of the social world, and centrally situates the experience of marginalised groups. I have been particularly interested in the following areas: Lesbians and gays in the military forces, Aboriginal women, women and corrections, mothers of children with special needs, bilingual/bicultural experiences, etc. More recently, I have published in the areas of Lesbians and Gays in the Canadian military, violence against women, sexualities, women and hormonal changes, and the psychology of marginalised populations.
