Dr. Hughes is a Professor at the Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba. Her continuing program of research centers on exploring the meaning of violence both from the point of view of victims and professional intervenors. Past projects have focused on how professional service providers understand and respond to intimate partner violence, including one project investigating how women indirectly disclose abuse to community health nurses and another project that examined how professionals in the family law system, lawyers, mediators, and custody assessors, respond to women who have experienced intimate partner violence.
Dr. Woodford’s research focuses on the inclusion, exclusion, wellbeing, and resilience of 2SLGBTQ+) individuals and communities. He specializes in studying 2SLGBTQ+ microaggressions and campus climate and their impact on students’ mental health and academic success. Central to this research is identifying factors that can foster students’ resilience and belonging and examining how intersecting identities shape students’ experiences and outcomes. Other research involves developing scales for use with 2SLGBTQ+ communities, such as LGBQ and trans microaggressions on campus scales.
