He was the recipient of the inaugural University Teaching Award for assistant professors in 2014 and is a member of the Teaching Academy at the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning at the University of Calgary.
Dr. Estefan's program of research inquires at the intersections of sexuality, gender, and people's experiences of mental health and illness.
