On World AIDS Day 2020 I was interviewed by my colleague (and project lead for Archive/Counter-Archive) Janine Marchessault. The interview is part of the Talking Archives series where scholars discuss their archival research conducted as part of A/C-A. In the video below you’ll hear me discussing my work researching the Toronto Living With AIDS (1990-91) community cable program spearheaded by video artists Michael Balser and John Greyson with the support of Vtape and Trinity Square Video.

Much of this research will be published as a journal article in the upcoming special issue of JumpCut on “Queer TV”. My research contextualizes, historicizes, and analyses the TLWA series through oral history interviews I conducted with the surviving contributors as well as through examining archival documents (press clippings, posters, letters, press releases). The article will go to press this winter with over 80 stills and digitized ephemera accompanying the text.
My colleagues in Criminology at University of Ottawa, Emma McKenna and Chris Bruckert, and I were awarded a grant to do a research project in collaboration with POWER on the impact of COVID-19 on sex workers in the Capital region. Specifically we will be talking with sex workers about how their exclusion or perceived exclusion from social safety nets have negatively impacted their lives, as well as the mutual aid strategies they have employed. More on this project in January!
My article “Generated Vulnerability: Male Sex Workers, Third-Party Platforms, & Data Security” was accepted for publication as part of a forthcoming anthology from University of Washington Press edited by Patrick Keilty entitled Queer Data. My piece documents the inherent vulnerabilities when working through third-party websites like Rentboy and Rentmen and possible alternatives to these unaccountable and exploitative corporate entities. I take up Ottawa Independent Companions as an example of sex worker self-organizing in the face of exploitation. OIC is one of the first large-scale all-gender sex worker-owned cooperatives that emerged after the 2013 Supreme court of Canada ruling that struck down Canada’s anti-prostitution laws. The anthology is due out in late 2021.
Back in November, shortly after the US election I gave a talk at the University of Southern Maine as part of their LGBTQ+ community dialogue series. The program was organized through the LGBTQ Special Collections at the Jean Byers Sampson Center for Diversity where I did much of my doctoral research. I presented a paper on Maine’s drawn out statewide and municipal referenda regarding sexual orientation-inclusive non-discrimination laws and by-laws through a close reading of Maine’s gay and lesbian periodicals published throughout the 1990s.
I’ve also just concluded Fall teaching at both Carleton where I am teaching the first year seminar Introduction to LGBTQ Studies and Concordia where I am teaching Introduction to Theories of Sexuality. I will continue teaching the same course at Carleton for the Winter semester while I will teach a second offering of the Theories course at Concordia this Winter as well.
