Born and raised outside Montreal, I’m a settler scholar of French Canadian ancestry who moved to Ontario to pursue an MA in English at the University of Guelph, followed by a PhD in English at McMaster University. I have held a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alberta, a Leverhulme visiting fellowship at the University of Worcester (UK), and visiting appointments at several more universities across Canada. I’ve also earned a postgraduate certificate in creative writing from the Humber School of Writers and a graduate certificate in publishing from Toronto Metropolitan University. Since 2010, I’ve taught courses in English, contemporary studies, youth and children’s studies, and social and environmental justice on Laurier’s Brantford and Waterloo campuses.
