Parvin\u2019s research interests focus on questions of gender, race, disability, health, biomedicine, and power. In her Ph.D. dissertation, she explored stories of racialized immigrant women\u2019s use of mental health services in Lethbridge, Alberta, and analyzed their narratives within a broader discussion of gender, race, imperialism, medicalization, and psychiatrization.<\/p>\n

Drawing from ethnographic methods, Pervin\u2019s MSS (Master of Social Science) in Anthropology research explored Norplant users\u2019 experiences of using the controversial five-year-long provider-dependent contraceptive. This research has received local and global attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
