My research focuses on the interplay between culture and behavioral problems through the study of social-historical-spatial constructions of deviance. I have worked with historically marginalized communities from the United States, Turkey, the Russian Federation, Syria, and Sudan in schools, hospitals, and prisons. I have developed the Culturally Responsive Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework and the Learning Lab methodology for transforming systems with local stakeholders (e.g., students, families, educators, advocates, civic organization and policy makers). I am leading local and international formative intervention studies to design culturally responsive education and health systems through Learning Labs.
