Christiane Guay is a social worker and she holds a PHD in applied social sciences of the Université du Québec en Outaouais (2010). As a regular professor at the same university, she has more than twenty years of experience in the field of intervention, clinical supervision, program development and management of social services. Her research interests focuses on the renewal of social intervention practices in a context of cultural diversity, particularly in Aboriginal communities.
In recent years, she is particularly interested in the realities of Aboriginal families who find themselves subject to child protection plans in dealing with a particular issue: the recognition by these plans of the particularity of Aboriginal families, protection, and customary adoption and healing in the territory. She is also interested in the epistemological and methodological issues and she developed in this regard reflections on the biographical approach in Aboriginal context.
