Marion Selfridge completed her PhD in the Social Dimensions of Health program in 2018 at the University of Victoria. Her dissertation research focused on street-involved youth’s use of social media to deal with grief and loss. For 5 years Marion was a medical social worker at the Victoria Youth Clinic, a drop in clinic for youth that provides food, access to resources and harm-reduction medical care. She has worked with many youth, including youth who, for a variety of reasons, live close to or on the streets. The life stories that they have been so generous in sharing with her inspired her to come back to school to make sense of how youth end up marginalized and in severe poverty, how they care for themselves and each other. She worked on the collaborative research project called More Than One Street that foregrounded the experiential knowledge of youth who know the street in research and dissemination. Marion is the research manager at the Cool Aid Community Health Centre where she coordinates research, including program evaluation, sexual health for women, HIV and Hepatitis C treatment and access to prescribed drugs to mitigate overdose. Currently she is completing post doctoral work at the Canadian Institute of Substance Use Research, where she coordinated qualitative interviews with people with lived and living experience of drug use about their experiences trying to access prescription alternatives to the illicit drug supply through the Risk Mitigation Guidance with co-Lab and the Youth Experiences Project, that asked youth who use illicit drugs about their lives and their experiences with police. Funding from the Law Foundation of BC enabled Marion to interview police officers to learn from and develop recommendations for RCMP and local police forces in BC regarding procedural justice with youth who use drugs.  She has worked as a sessional instructor in the School of Social Work and Child and Youth Care. She teaches dance to stay sane.
