academic profile

I am a critical scholar and educator whose work examines how power operates through institutions, sport, policy, and everyday practices. Across teaching, research, and governance, I am concerned with how authority is constructed, how inequity is reproduced, and how institutional structures can be reconfigured toward greater accountability.

My scholarship is grounded in critical theory and reflective methodology, with particular attention to relational ethics and institutional responsibility. I engage community-based research partnerships, including sustained work conducted in relationship with Indigenous organizations, guided by principles of reciprocity and data sovereignty. My work in gendered violence prevention and equity-informed policy development reflects a commitment to moving beyond recognition of harm toward structural response.

My engagement in faculty governance, including leadership within the University of Regina Faculty Association, further informs this work. Participation in collective agreement interpretation, grievance processes, and institutional policy discussions has deepened my analysis of how power circulates within academic systems and how labour structures shape scholarly life.

In the classroom, I treat teaching as scholarly practice — iterative, transparent, and analytically rigorous. I design courses that require disciplined engagement with theory while remaining attentive to its implications for governance, policy, and lived experience.

Across these domains, my focus remains consistent: cultivating intellectual environments in which rigour, reflexivity, and ethical responsibility are embedded within institutional practice rather than articulated as aspiration.
