Biography
Caitlin is a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr. William Bridel in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Dr. Deinera Exner-Cortens in the HOPELab, Department of Psychology. Her research interests are topics of gender and sexual diversity, inclusion, movement cultures, developmental/social psychology, sport policy and creating educational tools for children and youth.
Informed by a queer theoretical lens, Caitlin's doctoral studies explore the understanding and voices of youth on gendered topics that are related to (and that potentially prevent) their participation in sport. Specifically, the structural and cultural impact of provincial sport gender policy on cisgender, gender diverse, and trans youth participating in sport in Alberta.
Caitlin also collaborates on projects related to sport psychology, intellectual disabilities, youth suicide prevention, healthy relationship promotion, and masculinities. Additionally, Caitlin is an advocate for EDI, amplifying children's voices, and artistic expression in academic research.
