#UAlberta PhD candidate exploring the politics of childhood and education and the temporality of childhood.

I write about how childhood is mobilized in political discourses and how that obscures the lives and needs of children. I am interested in how childhood is used as a signifier by social movements and in law and policy discourses.

My dissertation explores how childhood is used in neoliberal education law and policy discourses in Alberta post-Inspiring Education (2008-2023).

I mostly post drawings & photography by me (he/him). Regular sharing is part of how my creative projects go. About which, see pinned posts.

I boost creative work on here, mostly photography, art & poetry. Plus content I want to see circulating here. Stuff about Detroit, rust belt cities, other cities, landscapes, dinosaurs, neurodiversity, COVID news & safety. I'm interested in abolitionist politics & Marxism. And movies.

Happy to interact on here but I'm often slow about it
