Dr. Hawes served as Assessment Coordinator and Testing Supervisor of the Antioch Psychological Services Center for fifteen years. Dr. Hawes’s scholarship has been concerned with the question of how clinical psychologists can incorporate a commitment to social justice activism into their professional practices. She taught dialogical practices in the service of bridging differences of many kinds, including differences in values, beliefs, race, sexual orientation, socio-cultural differences. She wrote a chapter, Dialog across Differences, for the book, Working for Peace: A Handbook of Practical Psychology, Second Edition (McNair, 2006).
From the summer of 2007 to 2012, Dr. Hawes led small groups of PsyD students in volunteering at the Johannesburg, South Africa NGO, Cotlands, where they provided community-based psychological and psychoeducational assessments and community outreach staff counselling to HIV+ children and their caregivers in the township of Soweto.
