Inter-professional decision-making in healthcare: A scoping review
Research Interests – Work in Progress
I study social and organizational theories that explain barriers to collaboration between workers from diverse backgrounds. I am exploring these themes in studies examining identity management strategies, interracial interactions, and organizational climates of diversity. The implications of these studies can help us understand how we can maximize the potential we can get from working well with each other, regardless of stigmatized identities.
