Counselling Psychology; can also supervise students from other areas who are interested in conducting research with Indigenous communities.
Prospective students:
2025-2026 admissions (Counselling Psychology MA and PhD): At the current time, it is uncertain whether I will accept new students under my supervision. This page will be updated by June 2024; please do not ask for an update prior to that time.
General considerations for applicants interested in working under my supervision:
- Many strong applicants are not considered because they are not the best fit in terms of their research experiences and interests.
- In addition to academic achievements and general research experience, applicants who are strong in one or more of the following factors are typically prioritized in my recommendations for admission under my supervision: (a) having substantive experience living in or partnering with Indigenous Nations or communities (beyond mere interest), (b) having experience in substance use research with racialized and marginalized communities, and (c) having a unique and compelling research interest pertaining to substance use, harm reduction, or recovery connected to one's lived experience. It is conceivable that an outstanding applicant would be an excellent fit with a different research topic that is broadly within my research expertise, so all interested applicants are encouraged to apply.
- I am not able to meet with prospective applicants in advance of their application, although I try to be available to meet with potential Indigenous applicants (at any stage in their training) who reach out to me.
- Those who are interested in working with me should list me as a potential supervisor in their application (I recommend listing 1-2 additional faculty members as well). Please clearly indicate in your application letter any pending funding applications, as well as any funding that has been committed to you (including funding from Indigenous Nations).
- Indigenous applicants are strongly encouraged to apply, especially Inuit, Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk), L'nu (Mi'kmaq), Innu, and Montreal-dwelling applicants (given my lab's research collaborations). Applicants who fluently speak French or an Indigenous language (especially from within Quebec or Atlantic Canada) are especially encouraged to apply, as are those with a strong interest in an academic research career after they graduate.
- Because I am unable to guarantee funding for students, applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for Tri-Council and FRQ fellowships. This requires submitting fellowship applications well in advance of the Program application deadline. See https://www.mcgill.ca/edu-ecp/students/finances/external-funding (Note that students in the MA Counselling Psychology program are currently not eligible for FRQ fellowships.)
