Assistant Professor of Practice and Practicum Coordinator, Child, Youth, & Family Studies
Staci Martin’s research and teaching interests include critical hope and despair, pedagogy of hope, refugee education, psychosocial and social emotional learning, and peace-building. She is a community-based action researcher who conducts research with vulnerable populations—in particular, refugee youth—often following their lead in her work. She is committed to co-creating practical solutions that are culturally responsive and led by, for, and in partnership with the community.
By researching, co-authoring, and co-presenting with communities, Martin believes she can use her privilege to co-create spaces so that communities can authentically contribute their voices and solutions to complex problems that impact them.
