Regine King
Dr. Regine King is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary and an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba. She leads a participatory action research program on structural factors that influence HIV infection and prevention among female sex workers in Kenya. Dr. King’s research interests focus on psychosocial processes involving survivors of organized and structural violence, including approaches to cross-cultural mental health and forgiveness and reconciliation among survivors of organized violence (mainly refugees and those who resettle in post-conflict settings). Her doctoral SSHRC-funded project became a baseline for ongoing longitudinal critical ethnographic research documenting processes of individual healing and social transformation in post-genocide Rwanda. Dr. King’s research contributions have generated interest in Canada as our country seeks ways to implement the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Dr. King recently obtained a SSHRC-Insight Development Grant to continue the documentation process of these stories through visual oral history methods in partnership with two Rwandan universities. Dr. King has collaborated with national and international social researchers to advance Indigenous knowledge in social work education. They recently completed a SSHRC Partnership Development Project that synthesized local and international social work theory and practice in Rwanda.
