Broadly, Dr. C么t茅鈥檚 program of research considers the variable experiences of Indigenous people, ethnic minorities and immigrants as they engage with mainstream society 鈥 whether through experiences of migration, social cohesion, or participation in cultural, social and economic venues. Motivated by an interest in mixed methods and cross-national research, her primary work focuses on Indigenous entrepreneurship and participation in mainstream markets. Located within research and theory on social boundaries and social networks, her work explores 鈥渨alking in two worlds鈥, the movement across the Indigenous/non-Indigenous boundary.
Dr. C么t茅 has written and presented on many aspects of social support, networks and social capital, reciprocity, ethnic tolerance and Indigenous entrepreneurship. In a professional capacity, she has provided consulting expertise to Nokia, The Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC), the Policy Research Initiative, Aboriginal Policing Directorate, the Office of the Federal Interlocutor on M茅tis and Non-Status Indians and South East Queensland Indigenous Chamber of Commerce. Her research interests include understanding the link between social cohesion and social networks, and the use of social networks and cultural knowledge in Indigenous entrepreneurship.
