Barbara Lee is an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) School of Social Work, Director for the Centre for the Study of Services to Children and Families (CSSCF), and UBC Knowledge Exchange and Mobilization (KxM) Scholar. Barbara has direct practice experience as a youth worker for new immigrant adolescents and as a child and youth care counselor in residential group home settings. She has worked extensively as a frontline child protection worker conducting child maltreatment investigations and ongoing child protection/family preservation services for ‘high-risk’ children and families. Barbara was the 2016 recipient of the Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) Transforming Child Welfare Dissertation Award for her research entitled “Examining child welfare outcomes for Asian Canadian children and families: A mixed methods study”. Barbara uses community-based program evaluation, administrative data, survey designs, and mixed methods approaches to examine social service outcomes and to promote evidence-informed practices with children, youth, and families. Her research interests include racial disparities and racial disproportionality in child welfare and social services, cross-cultural social work, evidence-informed practices with children, youth, and families, and the use of simulation in social work education. As a KxM scholar, Barbara strives to build university-community partnerships in knowledge creation and exchange, and to disseminate and mobilize knowledge that will promote racial and social justice.
