Ashley Quinn completed her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work. She received the Joseph Armand Bombardier SSHRC scholarship for her doctoral research, which focused on the factors contributing to cultural identity development and the use of community-based outcome measures for Indigenous families involved in the child welfare system. Her research aims to establish and improve funding models for Indigenous governance policies while promoting the development of culturally strengths-based services that help build capacity for program policy development, implementation, and evaluation. Currently, Dr. Quinn's research interests are centered around Indigenous research methods and ethics, including the exploration of culturally engaged caregiving within the child welfare system, Indigenous Alternative Dispute Resolution programs for families, and the application of Indigenous historical and contextual factors within criminal and family law matters. She advocates for wholistic approaches that incorporate Indigenous perspectives into social work education.
