My primary research interests are the epistemology of North American journalism, the normative and ethical issues raised by breaches of literary journalism’s reading “contract,” and the history and legacy of the New Journalism.

My doctoral research is an attempt to understand Joan Didion’s ideas on the nature of reality and journalistic knowledge. I want to relate these ideas to the worlds in which her writing was embedded and chart their evolution between 1964 and 1979.

My project is funded by the Canada Graduate Scholarships - Doctoral (CGS D) program of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

In addition to my research projects, I work as a lecturer at Université de Montréal, where I teach a course on journalism studies, and as an editorial assistant for the journal Intermédialités.

I am a member of the International Association for Literary Journalism Studies, Atelier -30-, the American Comparative Literature Association, the Groupe de recherche en communication politique, LaPIJ: Laboratoire des pratiques et identités journalistiques and Paperology.

I sometimes moonlight as a writer and filmmaker. Since 2016, I’ve produced, written, and directed a few short films and videoclips:

Good Girl (2017)
Maxine, ou une autre (2019)
Bonnie River (2019)
Mother (2020)
Catharsis (2020)

Good Girl was an official selection at the 2017 editions of Fantasia International Film Festival and Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma. Catharsis was chosen to open Longue vue sur le court in 2020, and won the award for Best Composer at the Montreal Independent Film Festival. More information about Catharsis is available (in French) here.

My pronouns are she/her. Here is how to pronounce my name.
