Hazel’s current teaching and research interests include queer and trans wellness, healthcare, identity expression, social justice, and the utilization of phenomenological and participatory methodologies for applied inquiry. Along with university teaching and research, Hazel also has a professional background in early childhood education, elementary education, after-school education, queer and trans youth advocacy and queer and trans community organizing.
