Intercultural Coordinator, Thompson Rivers University; Project Manager, Justice, Equity, and Inclusion, Work-Integrated Learning (on leave), Simon Fraser University
My SSHRC-funded Ph.D. dissertation was an an ethnography of the dynamics of race, class, and gender in the long-haul trucking industry. Previously, my MA research examined gendered, colonial, and racialized impacts of post-secondary education funding for Indigenous students in Canada. I have held various faculty positions at SFU, UFV and TRU and have previously published on racialized mobility in the trucking industry; the gendered, classed, and racialized implications of current hours of service regulations for the long haul trucking industry, and post-secondary education and funding policies for Indigenous students in Canada. I previously served as co-chair of the Learning at Intercultural Intersections: Towards Equity, Inclusion, and Reconciliation international research conference and co-edited a special issue that came out of that gathering. As Project Manager for Justice, Equity, and Inclusion (JEI) for Work Integrated Learning at Simon Fraser University, I supervise the work of a team of WIL JEI practitioners on a broad range of projects and initiatives. In doing so, I apply intersectional, decolonizing, and anti-oppressive approaches to WIL practices, processes, and curriculum. I have served on the national CEWIL EDI Committee, as chair of the ACE-WIL EDI Committee, and on the Advisory Circle for the SFU R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Project.
