Lee also holds the Factor-Inwentash Chair in Health and Mental Health, a position that provides leadership in institutionally based and community-based health, advocates for policies that respond to the social determinants of health and enhances the role and status of social work in health care settings.

Using critical theories in language, discourse and power, Lee’s research focuses on everyday interactions in clinical practice and simulation-based learning in social work education. She also explores how policy and its underlying politics informs dominant discourses that impact immigrants and refugees in a global neoliberal era.

In 2021, Lee co-edited The Routledge International Handbook of Race, Culture and Mental Health, which provides a thorough examination of the intricate relationships race, ethnicity and culture in mental health, and demonstrates how socio-cultural identities including race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and age intersect with clinical work in a range of settings.
