Academic History Ph.D. OISE/UT SESE 2006 M.Ed. Queen’s University Faculty of Education 1998 B.Ed. University of Ottawa Faculty of Education 1996 B.A. (Hon). University of Ottawa Faculty of Arts 1995 Research Overview Articulated to critical pedagogy, cultural studies and sociology of education, my research addresses the intersections of health, knowledge production and power in asymmetrical social relations of race, class, gender, sexuality, dis/ability, nationality, language and other points of dis/identifiation. Beyond my previous classroom-based research with children, educators, parents and administrators, I have become involved in recent years in ‘patient-centered education’ in minority contexts. I am interested in how official discourses of ‘healthy subjects’ in contexts marked by sociopolitical asymmetries come to be represented through a language of accountability (e.g., social determinants of health, benchmarks, student/patient-centered intervention, knowledge translation, preventative health/health promotion, inclusive education, personalized medicine, etc.) as an apparatus entering the subject into institutional practices of managing health. I am also interested in how these particular regimes of truth, power and possibility are articulated by their social actors (clinicians, ‘patients’, subjects…). I am interested in how school-aged youth remark a tension between competing or contradictory ideological positions in terms of the means and ends of ‘health education’, and whether such relations to ‘health’ are open to are “Signifyin(g)” (Gates, 2009). I am interested in working out a theory appropriate to the interdisciplinary work of health/education in minority sociopolitical contexts to see how critical social theory in education might be conjugated with the framings of social difference, especially race, taken up in medical research; this work involves unpacking the fundamental understandings about truth, validity, knowledge and reason privileged by one discipline relative to another (Lather, 1986). En milieu scolaire francophone en Ontario, je m’intéresse à comment les jeunes articulent leur rapport à la vitalité institutionnelle et la santé des jeunes francophones par rapport au(x) sens donné(s) au ‘double mandat des écoles francophones’ dans un contexte de pluralisme minoritaire.
