Biography
From 2007 to 2012, I was the Director of the Centre for Initiatives in Education (CIE) at Carleton University. The CIE provides a variety of programs to support non-traditional students entering BA studies. From 2011 to 2014 I was Joint Chair in Women’s Studies/Chaire Conjointe en Etudes des Femmes, a research and teaching position held jointly by Carleton University and University of Ottawa. I taught a variety of graduate courses in women’s studies. I organized several conferences including in March 2014, “Sex Work After Bedford: Legal Reform in Canada”. The conference included Catherine Healy (New Zealand Prostitutes Collective), Libby Davies, MP, Alan Young (Osgoode Law), Valerie Scott (activist and plaintiff in the Bedford case), and representatives of several important sex worker rights groups along with research scholars from across Canada. The event was filmed by CPAC and has been broadcast on that channel. It is available on the CPAC website.
