Write.

I use my background in public policy to write both publicly and academically. Bylines in Briarpatch, Canadian Dimension, Disability Visibility Project, and more available below.

Recently I wrote the Invisible Institutions podcast.

Research.

My current SSHRC-funded research investigates the political economies of institutionalization in Ontario. My research interests are disability, critical data studies, carceral studies and political economies. I am a member of the Disability Justice and Crip Culture Collaboratory at Carleton University.

Projects.

Invisible Institutions is a three part project on contemporary institutions for people labelled with intellectual and developmental disabilities for Inclusion Canada and People First of Canada’s Joint Taskforce on Deinstitutionalization. Through this project I developed policy briefs, a national report and a 7-part podcast miniseries.

I have worked as a disability and accessibility policy consultant on public, private and not-for-profit projects.
