PhD Candidate (Legal Studies)
Bio/Description
Monisha Logan is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at 杏吧原创 University. Her proposed research explores the intersections of mental health, race, and culture. Specifically, she aims to do research on South Asian mental healthcare in Peel Region and explore the ways in which cultural understandings of mental health inform organizational resources and programming. Previously, her MA research looked at the relationship between affect, race, and police brutality. Focused on the emotional impact of audiovisual material depicting incidences of police violence, her research looked at how a victim鈥檚 race influences how the public as spectators view, listen, and react to their deaths online, and how that in turn, may influence how the larger issue of police violence is understood.
