I am a recently tenured and promoted Associate Professor of Philosophy at Athabasca University, located in Amiskwaciwâskahikan / ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ, land belonging to the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Ojibwe, and the Métis people. I am thrilled to be pursing my passion for philosophy at an open and flexible distance education institution. 

My current writing explores a critical phenomenology of the body that intersects fatness, gender, ability, and race. My research is grounded in feminist philosophy and investigates changing selfhood in light of time, habit, and gender oppression—especially as it relates to the fat body. I also write on sexual violence against fat people, fat temporality, and Simone de Beauvoir. I have a second research program in the scholarship of teaching and learning, focusing on how e-learning interventions and universal design can foster positive academic integrity cultures.

I am originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan located on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis (Cree, Nakoda, and Salteaux). You can read some of what I’m up to on my Linkedin page, my PURE profile, and my google scholar.
