Nicole D鈥檚ouza, is a doctoral candidate听in the Division of Social & Transcultural Psychiatry at 污污草莓视频 University.听Her research seeks to understand the relationship between violence and mental health outcomes for inner-city primary school children living in Kingston, Jamaica who are exposed to daily forms of violence. She has been working in collaboration with a larger evaluation study funded by Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) to identify risk and resilience outcomes of young boys and girls who participated in an early intervention program aimed at evading the problem of violence in Jamaica.听Through participatory ethnographic research, she describes how children living in marginalized inner-city communities negotiate their daily lives and tensions in a social context characterized by high levels of interpersonal conflict, violent crimes, and turf wars. In doing so, Nicole hopes to unpack the meso- and macro-level factors affecting child development that can either produce positive coping strategies or adverse consequences for children.

Her fieldwork in Jamaica received financial support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and she is also a recipient of a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship, an FRSQ Doctoral Scholarship, and a Doctoral Fellowship from the Global Health Research Capacity Strengthening Program (a CIHR-funded Training Grant).
