I am a cultural anthropologist interested in many different things. My research in the past few years has explored the social aspects of contemporary tourism and migration, and in particular the entanglement of subjectivity, place, mobility, and power as well as the lived affects of tourism and migration as very complex and embodied phenomena. I enjoy doing and thinking about fieldwork and the evolving genre of ethnographic writing. I’m a settler scholar, born in Canada with grandparents who came from Germany, Norway, and England and settled in Tofino, BC, and Biggar, Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. I continue to learn what it means to live and work on the stolen land of the Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples and what my responsibilities are. I’m a proud parent to two grown children, Alex and Breck. My dog, Lucy, a bullmastiff, makes sure that I get outside and away from my computer everyday to explore the beautiful landscape of the Okanagan with her.
