She also continues as a co-investigator of the Manitoba Research Alliance (MRA) project Partnering for Change: Solutions to Aboriginal and Inner-City Poverty. Partnering for Change is a 7-year research project funded by a SSHRC Partnership Grant. MacKinnon leads and conducts research in the Education, Training and Capacity Building research stream. Through this stream she has conducted extensive research on poverty and inequality with a focus on public policy.
