Her research interests include sport for development and peace, gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health in/through SDP, cultural studies of girlhood, postcolonial feminist theory, global governance, international relations and corporate social responsibility. Her current research focuses on two projects funded by Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grants. The first project focuses on the use of non-human objects and technologies in sport for development and peace – in particular, the bicycle – as possible catalysts for development; the second study investigates how the politics of privatized aid provided by the extractives sector shapes sport-focused health and development interventions that target Indigenous youth in Canada and Australia.
