or, the mentors and support informing my work and approach
-
Professor, FRHD & Tier 1 CRC in Feminist Studies and Social Practice
Department of Family Relations & Applied Nutrition, University of Guelph
Director, Re•Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice
As my doctoral supervisor, Dr. Rice is a key support for my work in this program. We primarily communicate via email, with weekly check-ins, with larger concerns or discussions arriving organically in requests for (largely) virtual meeting. Dr. Rice also hosts monthly lab meetings with her other supervisees which expands my network of people to look to for examples, support, and guidance.
As I move towards longer, more expansive program requirements (e.g., proposal, ethics application, dissertation), I will implement a strategy for self accountability, sending along a brief email at the end of each week indicating where I’m at in my work.

Associate professor, Department of Gender Studies, University of Victoria
Director, Level Ground Productions.
Supervisor, LGBTQ+ Oral History Digital Collaboratory
Dr. Joynt is a long time mentor and ongoing collaborator whose guidance and support has been crucial to my continued growth. Our communication frequency varies, ranging from email check-ins ever couple of months, to every few days during seasons of closer collaboration or shared work or support. His breadth of wisdom and care continually orients be towards new ways of thinking, being, and asking questions.

Professor, Department of Historical Studies, University of Toronto Mississauga
Primary Investigator and Director, LGBTQ+ Oral History Digital Collaboratory
Dr. Brown’s advice and wisdom on leading an oral history and storytelling project has been invaluable to my growth. We communicate largely via email on a monthly basis. I am lucky to at times benefit from being in physical in-person space with her and other mentors including Dr. Chase Joynt and Alisha Stranges.

Assistant Director, Queen’s University Centre for Teaching and Learning
Dr. Djerbal’s mentorship was the push towards accessible pedagogy that changed my life. Her approach to interweaving activism, education, and scholarship across disciplinary bounds directly informs my scholarship and approach to interpersonal relationships in the university. We communicate variedly, often alternating via email or in-person, connecting over coffee and a good pastry.

a brief note
While I highlight here mentors who could be readily identified as such, this works cited page would feel incomplete without acknowledging the many folks whose momentary, fleeting, or former mentorship has shaped the contours of my thinking. While I could not begin to fit these people onto one page, I carry their stories and knowledges with me in all I do.
