I focus on qualitative and mixed-methods research that advances the voices of care leavers (former foster youth) as they emerge into adulthood. I use positive youth development and capital development theories to demonstrate how youth thrive despite unaddressed systemic issues that contribute to negative outcomes in adulthood. I also examine how these systems perpetuate structural violence by reinforcing systemic oppression. My goal is to improve practice and policy by identifying institutional-level barriers that inhibit healthy development for youth.
