Conducting Research

In academia, my research focuses on the multifaceted aspects of women's health and trauma-informed care across different life stages and professional contexts. I approach this through three interconnected pillars:

1. I delve into the nuances of women's health conditions and their impact on daily life and well-being, aiming to empower women to manage their health effectively.

2. I explore the intersection of trauma-informed care and societal challenges, investigating how healthcare professionals navigate their roles within broader social contexts.

3. I strive to advance healthcare education to cultivate responsive and adaptable professionals who can meet the complex needs of patients and deliver patient-centered care effectively.

To contribute to these fields, I engage in rigorous research activities. I share my work-in-progress with colleagues at conferences and workshops, seeking feedback from peers and senior scholars. Once completed, I disseminate my research findings through books, academic journals, and online essays.

The research process is time-consuming, typically taking 1 to 4 years from inception to publication. It involves continuous cycles of research, writing, revision, and review based on feedback from anonymous peer reviewers. Additionally, I contribute to my field by reviewing articles and books for other academics, as well as curating special issues of journals, edited volumes, and online forums. These research endeavors constitute a significant portion of my time as a professor, especially during summers and semester breaks.
