About

Illustration by Mary Syloria

I completed my interdisciplinary doctorate at Dalhousie University through the Fountain School of Performing Arts and earned my M.A. from Saint Mary’s University. I’m currently studying theology at the Atlantic School of Theology while discerning a vocation in ordained ministry.

Bloomsbury Press is publishing my first academic book, Temporal Resistance: Deleuze and the Unmaking of Colonial Narratives in Education; and I’ve also authored numerous peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, essays, and creative works. My research draws upon disability studies, Wela’lin-guided methodologies, media studies, theology, queer theory, and the public humanities to explore questions of grief, memory, identity, precarity, and hope.

Alongside my academic work, I program films for the Atlantic International Film Festival, the Animation Festival of Halifax, and the Canadian Labour International Film Festival through Mayworks Kjipuktuk-Halifax as I continue to write creative nonfiction, criticism, and fiction.

Whether I’m writing about theology, film, disability, academia, or companion animals, I’m ultimately interested in how stories help us remember what matters. This website brings together my scholarship, writing, and reflections on faith, grief, culture, and the enduring bonds that shape our lives.
