As such, her program of study is informed by an overarching social justice lens. Her research presently includes two major foci. First, she is conducting research pertaining to immigration experiences across different communities (i.e., newcomer youth, women, and 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers). Second, she is carrying out research in the area of teaching and learning, investigating cultural and social justice responsiveness in psychology training. Dr. Kassan is committed to the implications of this research for psychology practice, training, research, and policy. <h5>Selected Projects:</h5> <strong><em>Remote and Online Services for Professional Immigrants </em></strong>(Co-PI) – IRCC Service Delivery & Innovation Grant <strong><em>–</em></strong> Government of Canada, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada <strong><em>Hybrid Education Literacy Learning Optimization Study </em></strong>(Co-PI) – IRCC Service Delivery & Innovation Grant <strong><em>–</em></strong> Government of Canada, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada <strong><em>Newcomer Youth and School Integration: An Arts-Based Engagement Ethnography in the French and English Public System </em></strong>(PI) – SSHRC Development Grant – Government of Canada <strong><em>How are we Making a Difference out there? Teaching and Learning about Social Justice through Practicum Education</em></strong><em> </em>(Co-PI)<em> – </em>Teaching and Learning Grant – Taylor Institute, University of Calgary </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> School and Applied Child Psychology Faculty
