I live and work in Tiohtia:ke, also known as Montreal, in the unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka Nation in Quebec.
When I am not teaching, reading, or writing, I like to pluck my banjo, watch 70s horror movies, ride my bicycle, and play Warhammer 40k.

Dissertation Research
My doctoral dissertation concerns emerging scholarship in critical phenomenology and social reproduction theory (SRT). I identify two "schools" of SRT thought: one centered on gender as a social technology of time, and the other on the historical development of bodily modes of (re)production.
I attend to the tensions and ambiguities between these two schools with critical phenomenology, and posit a concept I name inter-temporality: the essential structure of social reproduction is best thought of as the totality of ways in which subjects give, make, and take time together.
In doing so, I show how a) the conceptual tensions and ambiguities between these schools may be addressed through engagement with critical phenomenology, and b) critical phenomenology may gain a robust and non-reductive account of class via the Marxist feminist tradition.
Other Research Topics
Topics on which I am currently writing include: phenomenological approaches on the temporality of housework and domestic labour, and its relationship to gendered oppression; historical and intellectual connections between Lukács and Merleau-Ponty; the phenomenological reduction as a method of Marxian critique; Merleau-Ponty’s account of operative intentionality in Phenomenology of Perception and its relation to bodily needs (such as sleep and hunger); de Beauvoir and Arendt’s contrasting accounts of labour and domestic work; and SRT frameworks for revolutionary praxis and freedom.
