Research Interests

I work at the intersections of adult literacy, digital equity and community-based learning. My current research program explores new technologies, literacies and digital justice in community-based adult learning settings, asking questions such as,

• How are automation and datafied ecosystems transforming literacies and pedagogies in community settings?
• How do we perceive and intervene in digital and algorithmic discrimination and exclusions as these occur in everyday encounters in digital education?
• What new theories, methods and critical and experimental pedagogies make more just digital ecosystems possible? 

See for example, (SSHRC IG) with Nathalie Sinclair (co-PI), Gwena毛lle Andr茅, Sheree Rodney, and Rajeeta Samala.

Teaching practice

I am currently the faculty's "University Teaching Fellow" though I much prefer the term Teaching Mentor, a colleague to support teaching interests in the faculty. 

I teach in the Languages, Cultures and Literacies (LCL) PhD program and in . Recent course offerings include the doctoral seminar in ethnographic methods in literacies inquiry, co-taught with Dr. Pooja Dharamshi, with an emphasis on critical, relational and conceptual modes of ethnographic inquiry including non-representational ethnography, speculative methods and community-based inquiry.

With the assistance of Pedro dos Santos, I developed and regularly teach EDUC 341 Literacy, Education and Culture
