Academic Instruction

I deliver academic instruction at the undergraduate and post-graduate level for courses in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. I have taught at the University of Edinburgh, University of Calgary and Mount Royal University on courses such as:

EFIE11007 - Narratives of Digital Capitalism
EFIE11090 - Writing Speculative Fiction
EFIE11037 - Strategic Change Leadership for Creative Industries

Academic Workshops

I also deliver specialized workshops grounded in academic research based on my doctoral studies. I have partnered with clients such as the Scottish Graduate School of Social Sciences (SGSSS) and the University of Rouen, Normandy on bespoke workshops for university-level students.

Keynote Speaker

I am available as a keynote speaker for corporations, universities, research centres, labs, and public-sector agencies and governments. I have delivered talks at academic conferences, arts exhibitions, universities and government agencies. I invite audiences to think differently about how they are shaped by place.
