P-SEC Research Group

Between 1997 and 2010, we conducted a longitudinal project investigating the experiences of lesbian and gay military members and their partners. Little was known about their stories and experiences, and this research begins to fill this gap in the literature. What started as the Masters’ research project of Lynne Gouliquer, the cofounder of P-SEC, quickly expanded to include lesbians and gays, currently serving in the Canadian military and those who had lost their careers due to a prejudiced policy. Our investigation uncovered stories of discrimination, challenge, resilience, hope, and change.

In a global sense, my research interests focus on the lived reality of women and marginalised groups. This sounds very broad, but it is accurate. I’m interested in the ways in which women and marginalised men – specific groups of women and specific groups of men – manage their lives psychologically and behaviourally in response to the demands of specific social contexts that affect them. Previously, I was interested in the correspondence between psychological and physiological responses that are specific to women. For example, I studied the effect of the menstrual cycle on performance and mood. I also carried out research on the relationship between physiological and psychological sexual arousal. More recently, I have been interested in social organisations and their effects on women and marginalised men’s daily experiences. As my interests have become more focussed on the structural aspects that influence experiences, I have adapted my methodological approach to better suit my research needs.
The methodological approaches that I used in my earlier research were fundamentally reductionist. I tried to circumvent psychological biases (e.g., demand characteristics) that could influence research findings. With time, however, I became increasingly interested in the psychological experiences of women, and felt that I should not be trying to circumvent psychological biases, but rather, examine them in more detail. In collaboration with Dr. Lynne Gouliquer, a sociologist, I developed a new methodological approach to look at the dynamics between the social context and the psychological experience. This methodological approach is known as the Psycho-social Ethnography of the Commonplace (P-SEC), as described on this website. P-SEC has permitted us to ask very different questions, which in turn, helps us to understand the psychology of women and marginalised men in much different ways.
Currently, most of my research is on the social organisation of the everyday life of women in particular institutions, and the cognitive schemata women use to make sense of their reality. The epistemological assumptions influencing how I develop ideas for research inquiries centrally situates the experience of marginalised groups. My research is based on a feminist understanding of the social world. My most recent work includes research on Female Firefighters, and 90+ citizens living independently.

After 16 years of service in the Canadian military, I retired and pursued graduate studies in Sociology. The military is and probably always will be a big part of who I am. Indeed, my research represents a combination of my military experience and academic interests (military & para-military institutions and marginalization).
I began my university studies at Saint Thomas University where I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in Sociology in 1995. My thesis was entitled: “The Needs and Issues of Military Wives: A Case Study of Women’s Grassroots Struggle and the State.” My supervisors were Dr. Marilee Reimer and the late Dr. John McKendy. Following my studies at St. Thomas, I completed my Masters and PhD in Sociology at McGill University. My MA was supervised by Dr. Peta Tancred. I remained focused on the Canadian Armed Forces, but examined the experience of historically invisible and marginalised group -- lesbian soldiers. My MA Research Paper was entitled “A Menace to the Gender Order: The Management of Lesbian Sexuality in the Canadian Military.” For my PhD, I investigated women’s career success and integration in the Canadian military, both quantitatively and qualitatively. My PhD research project was supervised by Drs Suzanne Staggenborg and Elaine Weiner. It is entitled: “Soldiering in the Canadian Forces: How and Why Gender Counts!”
I was awarded a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship which I completed at St. Thomas University under the supervision of the Canada Research Chair in Qualitative Research, Dr. Deborah van den Hoonaard. My postdoctoral research focused on older adults, specifically those who attained 90 or more years and still live independently. 
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Laurentian University.
Research wise, I have been collaborating with Dr. Carmen Poulin for many years. The largest and most important project we collaborate on is the development and use of the P-SEC methodology, as explained in this website. We also collaborate on a number of studies such as 1) Life history stories of senior-seniors (90+) : Tales of resiliency, identity, and longevity from the Maritimes, 2) Rural New Brunswick elders: Their health and the formal and informal organisation of care, 3) Women in the Canadian fire services: Putting out “fires” and taking their place, and 4) LGBT soldiers in the Canadian military. Most recently, I have started a project on the historically neglected but now emerging, Métis nation and identity. For this research, I am establishing collaborative networks across Canada but especially in Sudbury and Treat 3 region, my traditional Métis territory.

I completed my BSc. at the University of New Brunswick, in 2009. During that time, I worked with Dr. Poulin and Dr. Gouliquer on their longitudinal military project. Since that time, I completed my MA in Applied Social Psychology at the University of Saskatchewan, under the supervision of Dr. Melanie Morrison, and I am now a PhD student in the programme. My research interests include gay and lesbian issues, gender roles, and attitudes toward marginalised groups. I have also been involved with a number of program evaluation projects, with a particular focus on programs that provide services to marginalised persons.

Work: Research Assistant
Year: 2006
Supervisors: Drs. Carmen Poulin and Lynne Gouliquer
My university career began in 2001 at the University of New Brunswick. I completed six years at UNB, graduating with a Bachelor of Science, Honouring in Psychology. In 2006, my final year at UNB, I worked as a Research Assistant for Drs Poulin and Gouliquer in their P-SEC research lab. I learned a great deal about the research process, qualitative research methods, and the marginalisation of groups. I have since expanded my university level education by attending Carleton University, and obtaining a Professional Management Certificate in Human Resources. From 2008 to 2011, I worked with Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, leading a series of human resource projects. Currently, I'm working as Operations Manager at Graduate School of Management, an education institute specializing in postgraduate degrees (Sri Lanka). I am in the process of completing my MBA from Staffordshire University UK (2016). The dissertation is the final pending module and it will be on the topic of business strategy in the banking sector.
