Biography

Shemine worked in the fields of therapeutic recreation, pediatric palliative care, and as a counselor for women and children who witnessed abuse. She also has experience organizing international youth camps and outdoor programming for people with disabilities. As a private practitioner, she supports children, youth, families, and adults exploring inner child somatic practices. Shemine is deeply committed to creative, innovative, interdisciplinary understandings and to dismantling barriers while re-creating accessible, culturally grounded, and transformative research. Her primary research centers on therapeutic recreation, movement, and migration studies, with a central interest in creating spaces for Muslim immigrants to unpack migration narratives and engage in freely chosen recreational activities. Her work often incorporates (auto)ethnography and community-arts-based methodologies that acknowledge individuals' desires to find a sense of belonging through recreational leisure pursuits.
