Good Gingrich, Luann
Luann Good Gingrich is a Professor in the School of Social Work, and Academic Director of the Research Commons at York University. Using an approach to critical analysis of social systems based in Reflexive Sociology (Bourdieu), Popular Education (Freire), Institutional Ethnography (Smith) and Community-Based Research, her research aims to describe and measure the processes and outcomes of social exclusion and inclusion. Her work zeros in on the interface of ideology (or worldview), material and symbolic inequality, migration and displacement, and social welfare and human services. She integrates theory development, community-engaged research, secondary quantitative data analysis and critical pedagogy to inspire imaginations and strategies for social inclusion through inter-personal change, place change, and system change. She applies her theoretical and empirical work to the development of approaches to research, social policy and practice that lead from inequality to just relationships, from structural violence to social healing, and from competition and conflict to collaboration and shared responsibility.
Research Interests: Dynamics of social exclusion/inclusion, Migration and border studies, Labour markets, Social policy, Canada’s temporary visa programs.
