Jeffrey Hankey

Jeffrey Hankey’s (he/him) research program with the Bohr Lab builds on his community-based graduate work in Educational Policy Studies (MEd) and Educational Psychology (PhD) at the University of Alberta. His doctoral study explored the hidden resilience of 2SLGBTQ+ youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in Alberta using an intersectional, ecological approach and research-to-advocacy model. Jeffrey’s present research with Dr. Bohr involves CIHR-funded, community-directed, resilience-enhancing initiatives with Inuit youth in Nunavut, including the I-SPARX, Virtual Qaggiq, and COVID-19 Resilience projects. As a LaMarsh member, he also co-leads a mixed-methods study with Dr. Rebecca Bassett-Gunter in the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences that aims to enhance accessibility of physical activity spaces and programming for the trans*, non-binary, and gender diverse community at York.
