SOMETIMES AN ACADEMIC
Depending on your personal definitions, I am either a successful or failed academic. I have worked in academic research since the fall of 2019, developed and supported curriculum, and have been building an independent lecturing practice since 2018.
I did, however, drop out of Grad School halfway through an MA program, so there's that.
Cripping Masculinity
Cripping Masculinity is an SSHRC funded research project exploring how Disability, Deaf, or Mad Identified Men (cis or Trans) and masculine identified Non-Binary People create and experience their identities through clothing in their everyday lives.
Publications
From text book chapters to academic journals, to hacking guides and anthologies, I have worked with academic, artistic, and design teams to write, design, and publish a variety of works.
Crip Fashion Show
Beauty to be Recognized was an inclusive, accessible fashion event that advocated for an accessible and inclusive fashion industry. Beauty to be Recognized integrated Relaxed Performance into fashion event production and promotion in a one of a kind University curriculum.
Freelance Lectures
My lecturing practice centres a political understanding of Disability. Focusing on integrating crip praxis into communications, cultural understandings of representations, community building, and more. Defined by Kelly Fritsch ‘crip’ ‘opens up with desire for the ways disability disrupts.’
