teaching and supervision

Since joining U.Calgary in July of 2022, I have taught courses in sociology of health and illness (SOCI 321), sociology of work (SOCI 393), special topics in gender and care work (SOCI 403), and sociology of work and organizaitons (SOCI 601).

I am currently accepting qualified masters, PhD students or postdocs interested in exploring:

• paid and unpaid care work
• home care, long-term care, or assisted living
• work and labour studies
• race, class and gender in everyday work
• aging studies and cultural gerontology
• qualitative research methods including ethnographic, narrative and arts-based approaches

academic grant-writing support
Since 2014, I have facilitated academic grant writing workshops. As a part of these participatory workshops, participants learn about effective ways of phrasing or framing their SSRHC research statements (aka the program of study). Participants also have the opportunity to draft parts of their proposals, and to support one another by providing constructive feedback in a peer review session.

Consider checking out a guide that I co-wrote that includes strategies for writing research proposals (available HERE). Be sure to read the appendix that includes four successful samples. I am also happy to share successful examples of my SSHRC proposal and OGS proposal (available HERE). Shoot me an email if you'd like me to send them to you directly!
