Aisha Canfield, M.P.P.
Ms. Aisha Canfield (she/her) has been a community researcher and facilitator for the past twelve years. Her research largely focuses on the disproportionate detention of LGBT/GNC youth, identifying systemic points of disparity, such as contact with child welfare. In addition to her research, Canfield trains juvenile probation departments across the country to implement data collection systems. She also evaluates community-based providers serving system-involved youth. She has served as a facilitator of two racial justice coalitions seeking reparations for the harm caused to Black and Brown communities by county agencies. She is also an expert on the Prison Rape Elimination Act, providing specialized training about the needs of LGBTQ prisoners. Canfield challenges all of these organizations to have an honest dialogue about disproportionality and move towards cultural affirmation.
