About
My doctoral research focusses on the construction of queer publics, the politics of affect, and media activism in Canada in connexion with The Body Politic, a Toronto-based gay liberation magazine published by Pink Triangle Press from 1971 until its folding in 1987. I am concerned with how the political ambitions and energies of those involved with the magazine have been transformed and redeployed since the 1970s. More broadly, I am interested in territorialisations of desire and changing notions of queer community in the urban Canadian context.
