I write a monthly advice column at UniversityAffairs.ca called "Ask Dr. Editor." Through this column, I respond to the writing questions of academics in Canada, relating the finer details of their queries to broader issues of academic communication and knowledge dissemination.
In May 2018, I attended the Editors Canada conference in Saskatoon, where I received the Claudette Upton Scholarship -- the national editing award for emerging editors.

In this paper, I look closely at one of Robert Louis Stevenson’s first pieces of writing from his Polynesian years, “The Song of Rahéro: A Legend of Tahiti” (1890), which was a translation of an Indigenous Tahitian legend. I argue that his adaptation into the ballad form brings into the poem a fatalistic, haunting undertone that runs counter to the bardic poetry of the peripheries of empire that had been produced by Scottish writers a hundred years before Stevenson.
