Academic Introduction
PhD (British Columbia)
MA (Manitoba)
BA (honours) (Manitoba)
I have taught in Arts Studies in Research and Writing at the University of British Columbia (2012-2019) and am also a faculty emerita (Professional Writing Program, English, and Communications) at Douglas College, New Westminster, BC. I continue to pursue scholarship in the analysis and theory of language and power in contexts of social struggle (environmentalism, homelessness, and Indigenous women's rights). My work has been published in the Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Rhetor, Canadian Journal for the Study of Discourse, and Writing (formerly Technostyle) and in edited collections on language and communication.
