Dr. Logie will work with her UBC collaborators on the following research activities:
a) examine new measures of intersectional stigma and structural (gender-based, state) violence, and innovative statistical modelling strategies; b) develop innovative digital storytelling techniques for community stigma reduction strategies; c) examine gender, culture and place to advance health and social equality; and, d) understand the possibilities of intersectional sexual rights coalition building in Vancouver between sex workers, people who use drugs, abortion rights activists, and LGBTQ communities. Sexual rights include freedom from violence, discrimination, and coercion to realize sexual health; access to sexuality education; and bodily integrity and choice regarding sexual and reproductive practices.
