I have long been interested in questions related to how knowledge is produced, and ought to be produced, in the field of psychiatry. I have written collaborative papers about the application of feminist standpoint theory to the field of psychiatry, asking whether lived experience can underlie the potential for a unique epistemic advantage within psychiatric research, as well as well as how a focus on measuring impact in participatory mental health research can obscure ethical justifications. I am part of a network committed to building service user/survivor research capacities. I welcome students with lived experience - in the classroom, as part of research projects, and as graduate students. 

I have also been involved in qualitative research related to programs developed to support those experiencing early psychosis. While in New York, I co-led an investigation of the experiences of participants and family members in the community-based mental health program, Parachute, and led a project exploring the themes of identity and wellbeing among youth participating in the coordinated care early intervention program, OnTrackNY.

In 2021, I organized a symposium entitled 'The Psychedelic Resurgence in Psychiatry: Ethics, Epistemology, and Enthusiasm' - recordings of the presentations and discussion are available online.
