Get to know me and my work

  • Institutionalizing Mad Children

    This project aims to reveal the experiences of children in Canadian Provincial Asylums between 1870-1940. In using a blended writing approach, I hope to centre the stories of children and their lived experiences.

  • Brockville Patient Stories

    This project aims to tell the stories of the patients who once lived at the Brockville Asylum. While doing this, I have centred my role as a historian in this project and how my own emotions have affected my storytelling.
