Research on Indigenous Education & Methods 

2019- Present 

Doing research is hard work for anyone, but research in Indigenous contexts comes with extra considerations that are of significant importance for self-determination, justice, equity, power-sharing, design, and measurement. To share information related to research methods and methodology, I have tried to articulate these considerations in some of my written works. I hope they are useful. 

Our lab is dedicated to improving Indigenous employment. Often times, education is intertwined with employment opportunity, and, as such, I've found myself on projects seekings to improve Indigenous education. These include projects about STEM (i.e., science, technology, engineering, and math), sustainability, and special education.
