Supervision

Beside my research/teaching interests, I work with students with interests in the following areas:

gender and sexuality in Latin America;
activism and social justice (e.g. missing and murdered women; queer activism; leftist activism; mobilization around gender and sexuality issues)
state regulation around sex work
sex trafficking and anti-trafficking campaigns
anthropology of tourism (e.g. sex/romance tourism; eco-tourism; cosmetic surgery tourism);
gendered experiences of illness and pain;
gender and athleticism;
queer anthropology;
motherhood (e.g. experiences and practices of urban indigenous women in Ottawa);
