Significant projects
Specfic projects that represent my work.
Academic support centre, Zuhai, China
I was tasked by Saint Mary’s University to establish an academic support centre at their sister campus, Beijing Normal University (Zuhai) in Zuhai, Guangdong province, China. In 2017, after two years of planning and preparation, I travelled to Zuhai where I taught courses, as well as collaborated with local faculty and administrators to establish the centre. This centre’s operation continued until 2021, when the partnership agreement ended.
Canadian Writing Centres Review / revue Canadienne des centres de rédaction
Co-founder & editor
CWCR/RCCR, an academic blog that publishes writing on academic writing supports and writing studies from across Canada.
SKRIB: Critical Studies in Writing Programs and Pedagogy
Co-founder & co-editor, academic journal
SKRIB facilitates intercultural dialogue around the development of writing programmes, writing centres, and writing pedagogy in post-secondary institutions of higher learning around the world.
SKRIB achieves this intercultural goal through its commitment to multilingual publishing, to diverse ways of making-meaning, to a commitment to EDID, and to an editorial team with broad international representation. SKRIB accepts manuscripts that use a critical approach to the study and practice of the teaching of writing, foregrounding issues of colonialism, globalism, capitalism and neoliberalism, racism, ableism, as well as issues relating to patriarchy and gender inequality.
