Professor
Department of Language and Literacy Education (LLED)
The trajectory of the interdisciplinary program of my CIHR-funded research (http://www.lgbtcancer.ca) advances knowledge concerning how sexual and/or gender marginalization impact the role of networked social media and information literacies and shape access to breast and gynecologic cancer health knowledge and its mobilization and the formation of networks of support. The Cancer’s Margins research project charts new directions for sociocultural work in educational, curricular and post-colonial transferminist health media studies and queer bioinformatics.
