The current focus of her work is focused on developing public engagement and knowledge exchange projects with BAME and racialised migrants' communities organisations and individuals using co-produced, creative and participatory methodologies. As an activist academic, Tracey is deeply committed to developing projects with community organisations (and civil society organisations that champion social justice, the end to family poverty and  citizenship rights of vulnerable and marginalised groups in society.
