My undergraduate and MA theses looked at dating, courtship, storytelling, and feminist activism in a religious minority community. This was followed by eight life- and research-altering years as a stay-at-home mom and active volunteer in small-town non-profit social services.<\/p>\n<p>My PhD research examined the long-term impact of domestic abuse, using arts-based and autoethnographic research methods to critique the dominant \u2018recovery\u2019 paradigm. It was followed by a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship in Emotional Geography at Queen\u2019s University, during which I studied scrapping \u2013 in scrapyards and in scrapbooks \u2013 as methods of redeeming value from loss. Then, as a Banting Fellow in Geography and Canadian Studies at Carleton, I developed an online dynamic atlas based on scrapbooking about the places and things that are lost or changed by leaving abuse.<\/p>\n<p>I write academic and literary work in a variety of genres, including articles, poetry, non-fiction, and reader\u2019s theatre. My research currently focuses on the ethical and practical challenges of using arts- and narrative-based qualitative research methods, especially autoethnography. I am writing a book on the (mis)uses of personal narrative in academic, literary, and therapeutic discourses, and hope to create an arts-based research lab at Carleton someday as well as a hub of activity in emotional geographies.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4>Research Interests<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Emotional geographies of academic spaces and practices.<\/li>\n<li>Personal narrative and creative arts at the intersection of academic, aesthetic, and therapeutic discourses.<\/li>\n<li>Feminist, Indigenous, autoethnographic, post-qualitative, new materialist and trauma-informed approaches to subjectivity and knowledge.<\/li>\n<li>Arts-based, feminist and Indigenous pedagogies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Selected Publications<\/h4>\n<p>[in press].
