She is a past member of the Research Ethics Board for Emily Carr University of Art and Design and a member of the Advisory Board for the Arts Health Network Canada.
Her research focuses on the arts and health and the experiences of human subjects participating in health research, including the implications for an evidence-based and participant-cantered approach to ethical review. Cox has also conducted research on genetic risk and the experiences of persons undergoing predictive testing for late onset conditions. Her work employs narrative inquiry as well as a range of arts-based approaches including research-based theatre, found poetry and body mapping.
Cox has published widely on these topics and recently co-edited a book on ethics and visual methods as well as ethical guidelines for visual researchers and REB members.
