Temulun Bagen is an MSW graduate of the University of Toronto Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, and a research assistant on two projects, a program evaluation of expressive-arts-based group programs at the YWCA for parents and children who have experienced family violence, and the CART Access Project to improve abortion access for youth and equity-deserving groups. She is passionate about research involving marginalized groups who have been historically excluded from academic research. In her free time, she loves to dance, make music, take care of my plants, and do little sewing crafts!
