I teach courses on rhetoric and writing studies in Toronto Metropolitan University’s Department of English and Literatures of Modernity Graduate Program. I’m also on faculty in the joint Toronto Metropolitan University-York University Graduate Program in Communication and Culture. I have supervised students in both graduate programs, in projects on, for example, literature and medicine, poetics and the body, and rhetorics of alternative food marketing and activism. I was honoured to have received the 2013 Toronto Metropolitan University Faculty of Arts New Faculty Teaching Award.
I’m available to supervise students in Communication and Culture and Literatures of Modernity who would like to work on projects specifically in the field of rhetoric of health and medicine (RHM). Please get in touch if you would like to chat about your work.
