He has published articles in Inquire and the Canadian Review of Comparative Literature. His latest project was Streetprint Manila, a research project focused on the readership and the development of popular print culture in Manila, Philippines. He is currently co-organizing “Trans- and Trance”, the 17th Annual Graduate Student Conference at Western University, to be held on March 5-7, 2015.
