Projects

Alongside my research and teaching, I like working on knowledge dissemination projects in various capacities, from research and design to development and implementation.

Big World Times // 

A newspaper for kids – yup, a real newspaper. Big World Times is where curious kids explore big ideas about the world. We turn research from experts into fun, easy-to-read stories made just for kids aged 9–12. 

Knowledge Stitch // 

With Knowledge Stitch, I am interested in amplifying academic research, sharing evidence-based insights, grounded in theory and practice, to encourage the consumption and use of academic research by non-academic audiences, for increased uptake of open-access research from students, and to reduce access barriers across sticky research mediascapes. Thanks to support Applied Research at Okanagan College, in 2026 two Research Assistants joined me on the project.

Clayoquot Lives: An Ecofeminist Story Web // 

Clayoquot Lives is an online archive of materials related to the 1993 Peace Camp in Clayoquot Sound, Canada. The online archive launched in 2016 at the University of Edinburgh and features Dr Niamh Moore’s original research from the 1990s. It was developed by Dr Niamh Moore, and executed in collaboration with myself, Dr Nikki Dunne, Dr Martina Karels. We are now in the process of writing a DIY Academic Arching book, under contract with Palgrave.

Social Alterations // 

In 2009, I founded Social Alterations with Dr Nadira Lamrad. No longer active, Social Alterations was an online research dissemination project, sharing news and resources, designing and building lesson plans, workshops and activities related to responsible fashion, and the social and environmental challenges at work within the global fashion and apparel supply chain. All of our resources are saved in an online archive, and available for download – published through the Creative Commons.
