It is estimated by the United Nations that gender equality will take well over 200 years to achieve at the present rate. Gender inequality affects women, men and all genders, and influences the very fabric and sustainability of our societies and planet. My area of research interest has been varied but maintains an overall focus on gender diversity, inclusion and equality. I utilize a critical, intersectional feminist approach which provides rich insight into understanding how relations of power and privilege work to perpetuate most problems we face. More specifically I have researched about gendered aspects of educational technology and language learning; international education mobility and multiculturalism; indigenous land policy in the Canadian context; and most recently about the usefulness of feminist policy analysis frameworks.
