Bio/Research
Jennifer (Jen) Poole (she/her) is a white settler. She is also an associate professor at TMU’s School of Social Work where her work sits in the confluence of madness and grief. She grounds herself in approaches that challenge colonialism, white supremacy and carcerality and those that center connection, co-creation, access and justice. Her research is always collaborative, with current projects focusing on disenfranchised loss and grief, sanism(s) and the interruption of colonialism in education. Past projects have focussed on precarious work and health, transplantation, how mental health is disciplined in the helping professions and critical analyses of mental health recovery. A published poet, she loves to teach/learn, supports graduate students at multiple universities and has long been involved in community mutual aid initiatives.
