My article “Cable Access Queer: Revisiting Toronto Living With AIDS (1990-91)” is finally out in the “Queer TV” special issue of the open-access media journal Jump Cut. This piece provides insight into how the extraordinary TLWA program came to be, how it was received by various imagined publics, how it ended, and why revisiting this series is useful for today’s video activists. I will also launch a public-facing research website with Vtape over the summer that will include transcripts of interviews I conducted with surviving contributors to TLWA, short commissioned
reflections on each of the tapes in the series by contemporary activists and artists, and lots of visuals in the form of frame grabs and digitized ephemera. In a similar vein, I’ll also be conducting a two week summer school workshop series on Canadian HIV/AIDS film and video research from June 8th – 17th, 2021 as part of my continued work with Archive/Counter-Archive.
This June I will assume the role of Chair of the Sexuality Studies Association‘s Steering Committee for a two year term after having served as Vice Chair the previous two years. This year we have joined the BCSA-led boycott of Congress and will be hosting our own independent gathering June 1-3. More details on that will be forthcoming on SSA’s website in the coming weeks.

I’ve been invited to participate in the “Sex and the Pandemic” lecture series organized by Ricky Varghese.

Emma McKenna and I have submitted our chapter, “Lessons Learned, Lessons Shared: Doing Research in Collaboration with Sex Workers and Sex Worker Organizations” to the forthcoming anthology titled Facilitating Community Research for Social Change: Case Studies in Qualitative, Arts-Based and Visual Research edited by Casey Burkholder, Funke Aladejebi, and Joshua Schwab Cartas. This chapter outlines our collaboration with folks at POWER on an ongoing research project about the impact of COVID-19 on sex workers in Ottawa-Gatineau and their ability to access state benefits during the pandemic.
In addition to finishing up teaching sexuality studies courses at Carleton and Concordia University this winter/spring, I also joined a number of other classes to give guest lectures on various topics related to my research: University of Ottawa (Sex Work), Concordia University (Queer Theory), and York University (Research Methods). I also joined a panel sharing my postdoc experience along with a few other postdoctoral fellows at Carleton University for graduate students thinking of applying for one.
