SOCI 309: Social Theorizing Project
In 2025, a group of colleagues and I collaborated with the University of Victoria Scarborough Charter Committee to further initiatives in limiting anti-black racism across the university. Our project took a research-focused approach, highlighting how different universities, such as the University of Alberta and the University of Toronto, were implementing the Scarborough Charter and how those initiatives can be implemented at UVic. Below is the final slideshow.

In 2024, I planned, organized, and conducted a qualitative research project investigating how Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were framed in online spaces such as Quora and Reddit during the 2021 defamation trial. More specifically, I was interested in the ways gendered stereotypes influenced the general public’s perspective of victimhood and credibility using Foucaultian theory.

SOCI 309: Food for Thought Assignments
The following assignments were written between January and March 2025. It was based on weekly readings exploring different theoretical concepts assigned in class that we were required to break down into four parts: the main argument and/or thesis, a discussion component, a commentary portion, and finally, a current event connection.
For these examples of my work, I have specifically chosen topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. These topics critically engage with racism, sexual harassment in schools and workplaces, and policy criticism within DEI frameworks.
