Professor Caxaj's research focuses on exploring underserved populations’ access to health and multi-sectoral services, with a particular emphasis on racialized, migrant, and Indigenous populations. Her key findings and recommendations emerge from a study of coroner’s files concerning migrant agricultural workers’ deaths in Ontario. She has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals on various topics, including support models for intervention with migrant farm workers and structural gaps identified in health, safety, and access protections for migrant agricultural workers in Canada. Caxaj's work also addresses the health and safety climates experienced by migrant farm workers and cultural safety strategies in rural Indigenous palliative care. As a principal investigator, she leads multiple SSHRC-funded research projects evaluating services for migrant agricultural workers, showcasing a commitment to health equity and addressing the challenges faced by these communities. Caxaj is also actively involved in academic leadership, promoting anti-racism and decolonization within the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing.
