I received my PhD in English from Monash University of Melbourne, Australia in 1998 and my MA in anthropology from Carleton University in 1992. My doctoral dissertation examined the ways in which readers were corporally and spatially constituted within household books produced through the 19th-century domestic economy and sanitary science movements. My MA dissertation sought to combine Bahktin’s notion of the chronotope with Hallidayan systemic function grammar in order to offer a chronotopography of 19th-century gazeteers.
Currently, the main focus of my research is the critical exploration of multimodal forms of neoliberal discourse in a number of different but overlapping contexts, including work, education, and leisure.
I am willing to supervise graduate students in the areas of critical discourse studies and visual communication.
