Salomé Xavier

Salomé is a doctoral student at McGill University, supervised by Dr. Iyer. Her research interests include the investigation of social and cultural shaping of experience, identity, wellbeing and illness, and the use of phenomenological, narrative and arts-based participatory methods in the exploration of lived experiences of young persons with psychosis belonging to minoritized populations. In the future, she wishes to continue research and clinical activity in close partnership with communities and persons with lived experience, as she hopes her work will contribute to the quest for health systems and societies that nurture equity and diversity as well as more pluralistic views about healthy ways of feeling and being. Salomé is very curious and always willing to learn and try something new, to meet new places and people.
