Co-published with 5 graduate and law students and continue to co-publish to support them, and encourage conference presentations. Supervision of research assistants and one post-doctoral assistant involves as much scholarly supervision as graduate student supervision. In order to meet my research objectives in a rapidly evolving field of study, these students are immersed in the study of emerging research epistemologies, interdisciplinary conceptual approaches in education, law, psychology, sociology, information systems, critical media literacy, critical legal literacy and criminology. They are introduced to theoretical perspectives that inform overall and specific research; engage in legal research; engage in developing qualitative and quantitative surveys, focus group questions; data coding and analysis, writing and referencing skills, and conference presentation skills. This ultimately facilitates their own academic graduate programs and provide a strong platform from which to launch their academic, teaching, leadership and/or academic careers.SERVICE McGill University Task Forces, Boards and CommitteesMarch, 2015 – 2018 – Nominated to University Tenure Committee (going to Senate approval March, 2015).January, 2013-2016 – Invited Internal SSHRC Grants Reviewer.Fall, 2013-Winter, 2014 – Faculty Representative on Advisory Committee to Select a New Dean (replacing Professor Jamshid Beheshti).June, 2013 – Advisor to McGill Dean of Students on student codes of conduct and student orientation relating to cyberbullying.February, 2013 – Nominated for Advisory Committee on Charter of Student Rights (approved by Senate) February, 2013 – Founding Member, Proposed Centre for Islam and Science.Fall, 2011, Committee Member on Quartier Innovation Initiative in Griffintown, Montreal.August, 2009 - 2011 - Chair of Committee 1B, McGill Principal’s Task Force on Diversity.
