Research interests: Feminist pedagogy, conscientization, higher education, intersectional feminism, I-EDIAA, neoliberal institutions
I am a Queen's 2022 BAH Gender Studies graduate and current MA student. I also currently work at Queen's in Residence Life & Services and have a background in student affairs work.
My Master's research focuses on implementing feminist pedagogy and I-EDIAA in non-academic spaces within higher education. Specifically, I examine how we can restructure programming, workshops, and student-staff training at the neoliberal university using feminist pedagogical principles. I am also interested in looking at how we can better teach students about I-EDIAA outside of the classroom to create more well-informed, educated young adults - particularly at a neoliberal institution like Queen's. I am excited to utilize my unique position as a staff member at the university to inform my research and also apply my research to my workplace!
