For this week’s feature, we have Fiona Doherty as our researcher of the week!
Congrats to the College of Social Work MSW/Ph.D. student, Fiona Doherty, for receiving the 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Graduate Student Grant in combination with Dr. Michelle Kaiser and community partner, Rachel Tayse of Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association. Together, they will be conducting a 2-year research project focused on the social sustainability of beginning farmers in Ohio. The goal is to better understand the landscape of farmer mental health and stress management, while also laying the groundwork to tackle the broader structural causes of the exploitation of farmers and farm workers. There is a lot of great work being done in this area, and we are thrilled Fiona will be engaged in it!
Well done Fiona!
