Her research examines the emotional and structural conditions shaping care work in Canada’s non-profit social service and long-term care sectors, with projects on unpaid care work, labour force strategies, age-friendly policy, unionism, and workforce retention. Her SSHRC-funded dissertation, The Emotional Economy of Care, draws on feminist political economy and affect theory to theorize how precarious funding creates conditions of structural gender-based violence. Her writing has appeared in recent edited collections – Unpaid Work in Nursing Homes (2023), The Labour Crisis in Long-term Care (2024), as well as in theOttawa Citizen (2024), and other scholarly and public outlets.
