ABOUT ME
I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto. I research how students, activists, producers, and educators reimagine food in institutional settings, and why they focus on the temporal aspects of growing and eating food in increasingly changing landscapes. My dissertation research is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Wenner-Gren Foundation.
​
I am currently the Reviews Editor for Gastronomica: The Journal of Food Studies. I have also been a Contributing and Section Editor of Member Voices in Fieldsights, hosted by the Society for Cultural Anthropology (SCA).
I am a passionate educator and have developed pedagogical tools and strategies for teaching anthropology through cooking and eating food in seminar settings and the Culinaria Kitchen Lab at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
