Om mig
I hold a master's degree in Film Studies, Graduate Diploma in Curatorial Studies, and BA with double major in Film Studies & Communication and Media Studies from Carleton University. My academic work shapes and is shaped by my professional experiences in archiving (Library and Archives of Canada, The ArQuives, Transgender Media Portal), curatorial projects (Ingenium Canada) and film programming (Cinema Politica, Transgender Media Portal).
My ongoing PhD dissertation project, “Cinematic Diplomacy. European Union Film Festivals”, explores the emergence and proliferation of film festivals as initiatives for cultural diplomacy and soft power. This project builds and expands on the subject of my master’s thesis, “Cultural Diplomacy Film Festivals: The Role and Efficacy of Film Festival Programming as Contemporary Cultural Diplomacy at the European Union Film Festival of Toronto” (Carleton University).
My other research interests include archival activism, curatorship, cinema and media history, matters of identity and representation, film festivals and cities, and topics related to cultural heritage and diaspora.
