I received my PhD from the Faculty of Health at the University of Waterloo. My research focuses on men and masculinity in men’s and men’s rights spaces online, including social media platforms like Reddit. My current work is focused on the exfiltration (movement from one place outwards) of misogynist content from online spaces into real-world spaces, including into education spaces. I also research the dynamics of gender and sexuality in recreational spaces with active research into 2SLGBTQAI+ inclusionary practices in summer camp settings.
I have written extensively on men’s rights groups, Red Pill communities, pickup artists, incels, and masculinity more broadly. I am also writing broadly on the ontology of digital leisure, gender and diversity in leisure studies, and the ethical considerations of platform moderation of communities.
I specialize in qualitative approaches to research online, including digital ethnographic methods, and I am interested in creative pedagogies.
