Scholarship
Selina’s scholarship centers on social justice and the effects of social determinants of health. She examines the impact of racialized discrimination and other structural disadvantages on health, and uses critical theories to explore how historical, sociocultural, political, and economic contexts contribute to health inequities. Selina has a background in using qualitative methodologies, and experience with survey and randomized control trial conceptualization, design, and implementation. She also has experience using community-based participatory research to develop strong relationships with communities, and draw on community strengths and resources to create relevant interventions that will best meet their needs.
