Her research program in perinatal social nutrition, in collaboration with Professor Alex Dumas (School of Human Kinetics), takes a socially-engaged approach focused on nutritional equity during pregnancy and early childhood. Perinatal social nutrition is based on theories and methodologies of the sociology of social inequality, to address social, cultural, organizational and political barriers to optimal perinatal nutrition and health. The research program uses blended methods and seeks to offer nutritional services adapted to critical periods of development, from conception to early childhood. The primary goal is to reduce social inequality by improving the nutrition, health and wellness of families living with material and social insecurity.
