Biography

I am pursuing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) study with “New Americans” —former refugees or asylees who have resettled to Grand Rapids, Michigan—to explore processes of meaning-making related to their migration experiences. Our research journey will be shaped and led by a team of new Americans who will facilitate, with their fellow new Americans, processes of narrative inquiry while developing and designing a curriculum for refugee resettlement agencies and other service providers.
