My educational journey began with a passion for the arts: trained as a professional dancer, and working with visual media (video and photography), I dedicated myself for over ten years to experimenting with embodied and aesthetic modes of creation. Entering the field of education in 2018, a newfound enthusiasm for theory and research became an integral part of this journey. After graduating with an MSc in Educational Studies at the University of Glasgow, I was awarded a Graduate Teaching Studentship at Maynooth University in 2019, where I began my doctoral work exploring the educational significance of multispecies death and dying in the context of a rapidly and unevenly changing planet. I recently defended my PhD (under embargo until 2027), a milestone that deepened my engagement with questions at the intersection of philosophy of education, critical posthumanism, queer death studies, environmental humanities, art, and aesthetics. These research interests have led me to a FRQSC-funded postdoctoral fellowship at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, where I’m investigating how art and ecology can reshape death education in secondary schools. Concurrently, I am preparing a monograph titled Death Pedagogy: Posthuman Educational Philosophy in the Anthropocene, forthcoming in the Palgrave Studies in Educational Futures series (edited by jan jagodzinski, Palgrave Macmillan).
