What if our best ideas for addressing sexual violence came from a time when little worked as it should? In my first edited collection, Unmasking Violence: Campus Sexual and Gender-Based Violence During COVID-19, scholars, frontline workers, and activists take up this question: doi.org/10.3726/b22868
The image is of the book cover of "Unmasking Violence: Campus Sexual and Gender-based violence during covid-19." Edited by JJ Wright, Emily M Colpitts, and Alexandra M Zidenberg. The cover displays a collage featuring a young woman at the bottom holding up a wooden plank upon which the rest of the collage rests. There is an institution wrapped in caution tape with a graduation hat outside the front door. A caption blurb lists "Shhhh" with the letter s a dollar sign. There are also diverse people with PPE masks on and two social justice fists beside a falling tower of cards. The book is published by Peter Lang.

Heated Rivalry has exploded far beyond queer fan spaces—circulating through sports media and even “hockey bro” podcasts. In a new piece for @theconversation.com, I examine the cultural moment sparked by queer joy's appearance in professional hockey #heatedrivalry theconversation.com/heated-rival...

‘Heated Rivalry’ shows how queer joy can disrupt hockey’s culture of masculinity
Queer joy in ‘Heated Rivalry’ unsettles hockey’s hypermasculine order and makes new ways of relating seem possible.

Honoured to be named one of Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40 after only a few years here. I'm grateful for the scholars, community partners, colleagues, and students who shape my work. Looking forward to celebrating at @macewanu.bsky.social's Board of Governors dinner and the Edify Edmonton gala.

Removing Pride flags from Edmonton libraries is shameful and fascist. These flags indicate that everyone is welcome in public libraries, and to want to remove that signal of belonging is aborrent #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

In this new op-ed with @floralashes.bsky.social, we argue that all Albertan youth are disadvantaged and made less safe by the new anti-trans, anti-queer laws coming into effect under the UCP government. #abpoli theconversation.com/danielle-smi...

Danielle Smith’s new policies make all Albertan youth unsafe
The harms posed to trans youth are more than enough reason to abandon three proposed Alberta bills. However, trans youth are not the only victims of these reckless policies.
