Authentic, Genuine Researcher who strives to bring humanity and agency to people who are often overlooked by decision makers, the media, and by the general population.
My approach to research is to visit partners and stakeholders, listen to their needs, identify the problem and attempt to come up with a solution. If I can use that solution to help others, then all the better.

It is always invigorating to meet someone who is dedicated to using their expertise and privilege to better the wellbeing of others. Stacey Wilson-Forsberg is clearly one of these people. Stacey’s passion for the marginalised, immense energy and insightfulness imbues her every action and interaction.

Jeremy Horne

Former Director Adventure4change Waterloo 

I have collaborated with Stacey Wilson Forsberg on several occasions for the last seven years. In a multicultural environment, the work carried out together has always been very enriching, as Prof. Wilson-Forsberg brings innovative ideas and approaches always taking into consideration the specific needs and situations research focused on people must have.
The published work of Prof. Wilson Forsberg is both insightful and clear, allowing for new and experienced readers to approach topics which otherwise might seem daunting
