Science Fiction & Pedagogy Researcher. Teacher. Occasional Writer. Assistant Professor, Secondary English.

Check out my CV – tons of information about my research, topics I explore in my work, and my teaching experience.

You can see example an overview, reading list, and some course assignments/activities from the course I taught at York University: New Media Literacies and Culture (EDIS 3610).

I design professional development for teachers, including my latest project – a Mitacs-funded PD series on speculative fiction, world building, and digital storytelling (under construction).

[Science fiction] is not a genre of aesthetic entertainment only, but a complex hesitation about the relationship between imaginary conceptions and historical reality unfolding into the future. – Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr., The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction
