Marja-Leena Corbett

Marja-Leena Corbett (Secretary; they/them) M.A., Sociology.

Marja-Leena has a strong interest in the social determinants of mental health and the role that systemic factors play in community and individual well-being.

Their M.A. research focused on how transgender youth interpret and make sense of narratives of risk and suffering, particularly narratives that suggest an intrinsic connection between suicidality and trans identity.

They also volunteer with the Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Center of BC as a youth educator and with the Canadian Pride Historical Society as a research coordinator.

In their downtime, Marja-Leena loves to swim, rock climb, play piano, and spend time in nature with their dogs.
