Darla Fortune is an Assistant Professor at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. Her research is embedded in a concern for social justice and aims to create positive change in the lives of people most at risk of experiencing exclusion from community. In past research, Darla engaged with women who entered community after a period of incarceration to critically examine the notion of inclusion for individuals who often experience chronic marginalization. Themes of inclusion and social justice have been carried into Darla's research within the contexts of dementia and long-term care. In this realm, Darla strives to counter dehumanizing care practices dominated by medical and institutional models of care by emphasizing the need for a cultural shift that embraces relational approaches. A belief in the capacity of individuals who are marginalized to create positive social change drives Darla's research program.

Felice Yuen is an Associate Professor at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, in the Department of Applied Human Sciences. Broadly, her research encompasses healing, social justice, and community development. She often employs arts-based approaches in her research. Her work with the Native Sisterhood, an Indigenous women's group in a federal prison, and with Journey Women, a group of women dedicated to exploring and advocating for Indigenous women's healing, has led to publications in Critical Criminology, Arts in Psychotherapy, Leisure Sciences, and the Journal of Leisure Research.
