I advocate, research, and teach about 2SLGBTQI+ families in Canada.

I am a sociologist, educator, and researcher specializing in 2SLGBTQI+ families, queer parenthood, and social inequality in Canada. I completed my PhD in Sociology at the University of Toronto and currently teach sociology at Simon Fraser University and the University of the Fraser Valley.

My research examines how queer families navigate systems of inequality, with a particular focus on gay fatherhood, adoption, surrogacy, reproductive pathways, and community life. While Canada has recognized same-gender parenting rights for two decades, my work explores the social, institutional, and economic barriers that continue to shape access to queer parenthood.

As both a sociologist and a queer parent, I bring personal experience and scholarly analysis into conversation with one another. My work aims to contribute to a more equitable future for current and prospective 2SLGBTQI+ families in Canada.
