• About Me

  

  I teach full time in the Humanities department at Champlain College in Montreal. My research, pedagogy, and creative practice reside at the intersections of soundscape research, media studies, and critical geography. I have previously taught in the cinema departments at Concordia University and Toronto Metropolitan University, and in the Humanities departments at Lasalle College and Dawson College. I have presented and published extensively on film sound, media geography, and acoustic ecology. My sound compositions, photographs and films have been exhibited internationally. See bio for more details.

• Summer 2025

  I recently won the Oksana and John Locke First 100 Years of Cinema Award administered through the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema at Concordia University in Montreal. The funds will facilitate summer work on my next research creation project, Displacements, consisting of a documentary short on my father in 1960s Vancouver and a book project on the Soundscape of Vancouver on Film.
