❄️publication! In IPSR, @karenlynnbird.bsky.social, @joannaeveritt.bsky.social, @angeliawagner.bsky.social, @mireillelalancette.bsky.social & I show that racialized Canadians strongly prefer contexts with (more) in-group candidates when asked to consider elected office.

Grateful to share this piece I co-authored with Sue O’Neill. We reflect on the labels used for #GenderBasedViolence #GBV such as victim, survivor, and person with lived experience, and why #LanguageMatters. Context, power, and impact count!

It’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities. And to redouble our collective efforts in pursuit of disability justice. #IDPD2025 🧵1/7

Meta’s PR spin is deeply disingenuous. AI glasses make it even easier to create and share non-consensual intimate images, accelerating an already fast-growing form of gender-based violence.

[1/2] The upcoming 2025 Canadian federal election is a critical moment for the #HSS in Canada. With their role in society and policymaking increasingly under question in Canadian politics, it is vital to reaffirm their value in shaping evidence-informed policies.

It was such an honor to do an interview with @kylietcheung.bsky.social about On the Wrong Side—especially since I loved Survivor Injustice so much. Our conversation got to the core issue in sexual violence: perpetrators are protected and survivors are punished for seeking help and safety.

I see a lot of people talk about the environmental costs of AI. I don't see as much about the human exploitation behind it.

A reminder for #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities to recognize wholeness, including a person's hobbies, strengths, needs, identities, and expertise. 💫 People with disabilities often face harmful labels and reductionist understandings that result in a denial of their human rights. #IDPD

The theme this year for #16DaysofActivism against gender-based violence is focused on femicide. But what is femicide? This Backgrounder I made shares information on femicide and how it differs from other forms of killing: www.gbvlearningnetwork.ca/our-work/bac... #NoExcuse #16Days
