- About Me
I am a doctoral candidate at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, where I am currently completing my dissertation about the new Nordic food movement, contemporary Canadian cuisine, and reimaginations of Indigenous food cultures.
Previously trained as an art historian, my writing, research, and teaching focuses on contemporary art and food cultural history (often separately but sometimes together).
