| dc.description.abstract | As a young Asian Canadian woman facing discrimination in the workplace, my experiences and
background transpired into a thesis about compassion, inclusive leadership, and community
engagement. A first-person action research approach explored my leadership style and the
impact of my intersectionality on my leadership experiences. Autoethnographic journals,
interviews and focus groups gained insight into inclusive leadership in the social location of
Windsor. Results suggested that safe space for dialogue is required for people of all backgrounds
to participate in local leadership. Based on the literature, the topics of Asian women in leadership
and intergenerational trauma-informed leadership need to be further studied. | |
