Overall Research Project Description We are interested in investigating the personal and social contexts of chemsex practices and harm reduction measures within racially diverse Men who have sex with men. We use Photovoice, which is a type of participatory action research method that provides cameras to a group of individuals and asks them to record their experiences over time. Researchers subsequently interview participants regarding their perceptions and experiences, with the photographs used during the interview as catalysts for discussion. We are looking for research assistants interested in contributing to these research goals. The student will be responsible for working with an Assistant Professor, a Professional research assistant, or a graduate student, and assist in coordinating research activities.

Research Tasks Literature Review, recruitment, enrollment, data collection, data curation. Use of software, including RedCap, Microsoft Office, and Zoom, will be part of the project.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: The Research assistants need to effectively communicate findings, both written and verbal, to the research team and potentially others. Managing data, keeping records, and organizing research materials are important aspects of the role. Experience with literature reviews, data collection, and research methodologies is highly valuable.

Mentoring Philosophy My purpose as a mentor is to help mentees reach their own goals or discover them if they are still uncertain, by creating an environment where they feel safe to explore ideas, take risks, and critically question the systems around them. Inspired by Paulo Freire’s vision of education as liberation, I believe mentorship must empower learners to become independent thinkers and agents of change. I aim to support mentees in building both their technical expertise and their capacity for reflection, empathy, and social responsibility.
While I guide, challenge, and support my mentees, they inspire me with their curiosity, resilience, and diverse perspectives. Mentorship is essential because it not only advances individual careers but also shapes the values and practices of the next generation of scholars, thereby influencing the future of science, education, and society.
