Edinburgh International Fashion Festival
Moderating a Panel at the National Museum Scotland for Edinburgh International Fashion Festival, 2016

I am a continuing College Professor in Sociology at Okanagan College.

My research themes and interests include: transnational social movements and related activism (online and offline), work & labour rights, environmental justice, global fashion and apparel production and consumption, digital sociology, research methods, and knowledge dissemination.

I have a PhD (2019) in Sociology from The University of Edinburgh, investigating transnational fashion and apparel related efforts in the wake of the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh.

I found my way to the PhD after working for a long time on Social Alterations, an online education resource on social and environmental challenges associated with the global fashion and apparel industry. When I am not teaching, writing, or chasing after my child, you’ll find me playing with knowledge dissemination projects.
