Dawn Onishenko is an eco-feminist who has been a social justice activist in the areas of gender, women in conflict with the law, anti-poverty, housing and homelessness, HIV/AIDS and queer rights. Dawn’s academic interests include social movements, citizenship and civic engagement, critical human rights, systemic discrimination, oppression and marginalization, the inherent dignity of the human person and the role of jurisgenerative politics/praxis in bringing about social change. Her current research projects explore the experiences of sexual minorities seeking refugee status in Canada; the experiences of gender and sexual minority youth in state care, specifically the child welfare and the youth justice systems; critical human rights and youth policy; and homeless youth and COVID-19.
