Research Interests

My research examines queer care and social reproduction in northern Canada, with a focus on health/care disparities for transgender and gender non-conforming folks. I am particularly interested in the ways in which queer, trans, and GNC youth care for one another in the context of institutional failure to meet their mental, physical, and sexual healthcare needs, and how these caring relations shape their experiences of community. I approach the intersections between queer care and northern health disparities through a decolonial, feminist political economy lens, utilizing arts-based research methods.
