Bio/Research
I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Calgary in 2009, and soon after moved to the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishnawbe and Netural people to become a member of the Laurier Brantford community. My research and teching is deeply intertwined with my activism, and is focused in the areas of community building and gender and sexuality from an intersectional, anti-racist feminist perspective.
Prior to starting my position here at Laurier, I grew up on Treaty 7 territory in Calgary and then moved to complete my undergraduate and masters degrees at Simon Fraser University. Following the completion of my Master of Arts in Criminology, I worked for a few years with a children’s mental health research unit at the University of British Columbia and then went onto complete my doctoral studies.
I am interested in the application of anti-oppressive, anti-racist, feminist, and intersectional thinking in the community-based, activist, and academic scholarhsip that I engage in. Most of my published academic work has focused on the intersections of gender and sexuality as it relates to health, illness, medicine/psychiatry, and anti-violence work including a focus on gender-based and sexual violence. As part of this work, I have also published in the area of feminist methodologies.
My newest research combines my interest in intersectional feminist theory with community building and processing experiences of grief. As part of this work I have begun to explore arts-based methodologies with a specific focus on textile art. Over the years I have worked closely with many different groups and organizations on campus and in the community of Brantford and Brant County to address issues related to gender-based and sexual violence and inequities experienced by the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
