Research interests:
My research explores the intersections of autism, alexithymia, and sexual consent, using a research-creation and institutional ethnography approach. I am particularly interested in developing alternative consent theories that challenge dominant models, but also the ableist social organization of academic research, and critical whiteness studies. I am also the founder and former president of the Disabled and Neurodivergent Students’ Association at Bishop’s University, where I continues to advocate for disability justice in academia.
