    Research Projects

    On our own terms: An oral history and archive of queer femme community and culture in Toronto, 1990-2000

    Role: Principal Investigator

    Year Funded: 2023

    Funded by: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)

    This project responds to a notable absence of material on the experiences of queer femmes in existing LGBTQ2+ theories, histories and archives, by exploring queer femme cultural production and community-building in Toronto during the 1990s through oral history interviews, photographs, and other visual ephemera. We seek to better understand how the proliferation of organizing and cultural production by queer femmes in 90s Toronto has impacted the broader trajectory of LGBTQ2+ politics and culture, and informed significant developments in queer and gender theories over the last three decades, including an effort to articulate an experience of femme identity on its own terms.

    Archive counter archive: Activating Canada's moving image heritage

    Role: Co-Investigator

    Year Funded: 2018

    Funded by: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)

    Archive/Counter-Archive is a project dedicated to activating and remediating audiovisual archives created by Indigenous, Inuit and Métis Peoples, the Black community and People of Colour, womxn, LGBT2Q+ and immigrant communities. Political, resistant, and community-based, counter-archives disrupt conventional narratives and enrich our histories.
