Sandra Collins (she\/her), PhD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MI write from the perspective of a feminist, lesbian, cisgender, woman with an invisible disability, who is semiretired, white, and inhabits a privileged social class. I am also positioned by my European heritage and consequent settler relationship to coloniality and my atheist belief system. I respectfully acknowledge the unceded ancestral lands of the L\u0259k\u0313\u02b7\u0259\u014b\u0259n People, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, where I live and work as an uninvited guest. I am grateful for all that I have learned and unlearned through my relationship with Melissa and each of the other collaborators in this work. It has been a labour of love in so many ways. I retired in 2023 as a professor at Athabasca University and in 2025 from active practice as a psychologist. Over the 25 years of my academic and professional career I focused my research, writing, and teaching on cultural responsivity and social justice in theory and practice; this is my fifth book on these topics. I also specialized in counsellor education, particularly online and blended learning and open-source resources. Now that this book is complete I plan to spend more of my time enjoying other aspects of my life with my spouse, Glo Kelly, including gardening, painting, being in nature, and engaging in other creative projects! I remain committed to justice-doing and justice-seeking, and I am curious to see what the future brings for me as I continue my path as a disruptor committed to social change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
