Sandra Dixon is an Associate Professor at the University of Lethbridge's Faculty of Education, specializing in multicultural counseling, faith integration in mental health, and the intersection of race, gender, and identity. Her research emphasizes marginalized communities, particularly Black Canadian women and racialized groups, exploring themes like faith-based coping mechanisms, systemic inequities, and decolonial practices in education and healthcare.
Her work bridges clinical practice, academic leadership, and policy development, focusing on culturally responsive interventions and challenging institutional biases. Recent projects include studies on pandemic impacts, online teaching strategies, and amplifying underrepresented voices in academia and counseling. Dr. Dixon advocates for 'brave spaces' in higher education to foster inclusive leadership and address barriers faced by racialized women.
Key research areas include:
- Cultural identity reconstruction among immigrant populations
- Spirituality in mental health and therapy
- Racial trauma and health disparities
- Intersectionality in public health and education
Her articles analyze practical strategies for clinicians, educators, and policymakers to address systemic inequities through evidence-based approaches rooted in community narratives and decolonial frameworks.
