Biography:
I am currently a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Paris 8, France. My postdoc project explores life writing as an arts-based research methodology, as in: creative non-fiction, memoir, autobiographical writing and art making, alongside the oeuvre of the feminist, poet-thinker Hélène Cixous. My research is informed by my advocacy and working background in Canadian midwifery. My writing, art and research explores themes of mothering, birth, midwifery, women-centred education, health and spirituality, and artistic practices.

Research areas of interest:

women's spirituality, maternal health, midwifery practice, birth experience/story, philosophy of birth, holistic and transformative education, arts-based & narrative research methodologies

Research Themes:

Reproductive Infectious Diseases Maternal & Fetal Health

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
