Research Information:

My interest focuses on community and participatory approaches with popular civil society, such as people education in health, collaborative ethnography and action-research, which consider unpredictability and uncertainty of contexts in movement.

I had been living many years in the State of Amazonas (Brazil) and collaborate with Brazilian and Latin American colleagues.

I work the questions of equality in international collaboration.

In Canada, my work focuses on the contemporary challenges of francophone nursing education with new immigrants and visible minorities, as well as with a new innovative project linking housing and HIV with a coalition of community-based organizations in Quebec.
