Bio/Research
I teach English literature and Cultural Studies with an emphasis on media studies at both the graduate and undergraduate level. I served as the founding chair of the Cultural Studies program from 2007-2010, and served as the interim Director of Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on the Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies program. I am an associate of the UBC Centre for Culture, Identity and Education (CCIE) located at the Point Grey campus.
My research reflects an interest in media and performance and is informed by my dissertation on the performance of testimonials on daytime talk shows in the mid-1990s. More recently my research focuses on a) filmic representation of the first Gulf War and b) the problematic expressions of cultural nationalism in 1950s theatre production in the Okanagan, c) television studies with a focus on reality TV, and d) the performance of whiteness in the Okanagan. I am currently editing a volume on Whiteness in the Okanagan valley with Drs. Lawrences Berg and Luis Aguiar.
