Monte-Angel Richardson

DOCTORAL FELLOW

Monte-Angel Richardson’s research interests involve violence prevention within communities, immigrants and refugees, trauma informed practice, and transformative justice models. Combining social work and public health at local, state, national, and international levels, Monte-Angel focuses on the prevention of gun violence and interruption of the processes that permeate trauma within marginalized populations and communities.
​Monte-Angel’s research in the U.S., Canada, and Japan is diverse methodologically, spanning from participatory action research to surveys with complex sampling design, from building machine learning models to intervention research, including the use of machine learning to analyze trends in gun violence, a study of survivors of a mass shooting in California, and multi method qualitative studies of residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the University of Toronto, she is a member of the collaborative specialization in social work and public health policy.
