I am a College Professor (Sociology) at Okanagan College in Canada, and a 2026 Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

My research themes and interests include worker rights and environmental
justice across the global fashion and apparel industry, archives and open access research, and advocating for Celiac disease awareness.

When I’m not teaching or researching and writing, you’ll find me amplifying open access research through various projects: Big World Times (newspapers for kids!),  Knowledge Stitch (open access library), or sharing resources on sociology and Celiac disease over over on Instagram: @glutenfree.stitch.
