Currently, I am the incumbent of the Joint Chair in Women鈥檚 Studies (JCWS) at 杏吧原创 University and the University of Ottawa, for a two-year mandate (July 2023-July 2025).

My research work, at the moment, explores issues related to institutional abandonment, the anthropology of care and bureaucracies, and the social production of disability in school institutions of the Qu茅bec city region. A first project revolves around the role of school transportation in access to schooling for autistic students, in a context of crisis in these students鈥 schooling, as many find themselves unschooled or attending school part-time. Funded by a SSHRC Insight Development Grant, this project is done in collaboration with Dr. Laurence Simard-Gagnon, and draws on our respective expertise and experiential knowledges. The project focuses on the materiality of school transportation through ethnographic attention to both (i) official policies, managerial practices, and overall governance, and (ii) everyday, intersecting experiences of vulnerabilities for drivers, parents, and students who meet in the disabling space of the van. A second collaborative and participatory project is conducted along with 础耻迟颈蝉尘别-蚕耻茅产别肠, and focusses on documenting experiences of unschooling and partial schooling for autistic students in the Qu茅bec city region. I am also involved with the in collaboration with La ligue des droits et libert茅s-section Qu茅bec, in order to help advance issues around school exclusion of autistic and disabled students.

I have also conducted ethnographic research on sex tourism in Natal, in the northeast of Brazil, including research on questions around practices of social mobility and intimacies against a backdrop of social and geopolitical inequalities. As part of this work, I have also examined the mobilization of affective logics in campaigns against sex trafficking and sex tourism, including during the 2014 World Cup in Natal, campaigns which too often, have led to patterns of urban exclusion and state abandonment.

I also have a longstanding interest in visual/multimodal anthropology, in the possibilities of doing and telling research otherwise, and in the circulation of feminist knowledges. In collaboration with Dr. William Flynn, who has adapted my research into a graphic narrative, and a Brazilian illustrator, I have turned my ethnography of sex tourism into a graphic novel, with , which has also been and published in Brazil.

I continue to explore different ways of doing and telling about research in my collaborative research project alongside Dr. Simard-Gagnon, including through the development of narrative cartographies.
