My name is Kaye (she/her). I was raised in Sherwood Park, Alberta, on Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Blackfoot peoples and the Métis Nation of Alberta. I now work in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

I love writing stories, watching documentaries, boxing, eating my spouse’s gluten-free concoctions, collecting sea glass, and most recently, experimenting with floral design. I am also passionate about community leadership.

Here is how I am spending my time professionally these days:

• Associate Professor at University Canada West (Interdisciplinary - Arts, Communications and Social Sciences) 

• Chair of the University Canada West Research Ethics Board

• Guest Editor for Issue of Feral Feminisms (call for proposals open!)

• Researching sexual and reproductive health (vulvovaginal pain, infertility, sex education)

• Developing an art exhibit (erasure poetry about decolonization)

• 3rd Term President of Options for Sexual Health – Canada’s largest sexual health not-for-profit organization (here’s a picture of me)
