Speaker
Emily Leickly, PhD
Assistant Professor, WSU College of Medicine
Dr. Leickly is a Research Assistant Professor in the Promoting Research Initiatives in Substance Use and Mental Health (PRISM) Collaborative. She earned her PhD in Applied Community Psychology at Portland State University. Dr. Leickly’s research interests include the experiences of people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) in a variety of contexts including community mental health centers, supportive housing, and public spaces (e.g., libraries, parks). She also works at the intersection of SMI and homelessness in the public space, where she and her colleagues completed a two-year evaluation of Portland Street Response, an alternative first responder program designed to address over-policing of people experiencing mental and behavioral health crises and homelessness. She is particularly interested in qualitative and mixed methods, including narrative inquiry, ethnography, media content analysis, social network analysis, and place-based methods (e.g., geographic information systems, participatory mapping).
