Research
Areas of Research
Dr. Domene's primary research area is the relational contexts of young people's career development (e.g., how couples or families work together to construct and pursue goals for their future work and life together). He also engages in research on how newcomer youth and international students to navigate the transition into the Canadian workforce, as well as adolescent and emerging adult career processes more generally. Dr. Domene uses the Contextual Action Theory of career and adopts a broad definition of career development as peoples' pursuit of goals for their future life (typically in relationship with other people).
A secondary area of research interest for Dr. Domene is exploring the professions of counselling therapy and counselling psychology, which encompasses such topics as the historical development of these professions in Canada, approaches to research within these professions, and best practices for preparing students to become competent counselling therapists and counselling psychologists.
Finally, Dr. Domene also has some interest in exploring ways that technology influence human development and, particularly, ways that technology can be used to enhance wellbeing. This tertiary research area encompasses negative and positive influences of emerging technologies on young people's career development and wellbeing, and innovative applications of technologies within counselling psychology practice.
