About Ashley Quinn
Ashley Quinn completed a Ph.D. at the University of Toronto, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, and received a Joseph Armand Bombardier SSHRC scholarship for doctoral research on the factors contributing to cultural identity and the development of community-based outcome measures for Indigenous families involved in the child welfare system. The aim of this research was to establish and improve funding towards Indigenous governance and policy, to promote the development of cultural strengths-based services, and to help build capacity with regard to program and policy development, implementation and evaluation within a culturally relevant research framework.
Dr. Quinn’s current research interests focus on Indigenous research methods and ethics protocols including further exploration of culturally engaged caregiving in the child welfare system; Indigenous Alternative Dispute Resolution programs for Indigenous families who have had their children apprehended by the child welfare system; the application of Indigenous historical, contextual and contemporary factors in criminal, family and child welfare law matters; and wholistic approaches and Indigenous perspectives in social work education.
