I received my PhD in Health from 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 exhilaration (movement from one place outwards) of misogynist content from online spaces into real-world spaces including into education spaces and how this type of online content feeds far-right and fascist movements. 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.
