About Me
I teach full time in the Humanities department at Champlain College in Montreal. My research, pedagogy, and creative practice reside at the intersections of soundscape research, media studies, and critical geography. I have previously taught in the cinema departments at Concordia University and Toronto Metropolitan University, and in the Humanities departments at Lasalle College and Dawson College. I have presented and published extensively on film sound, media geography, and acoustic ecology. My sound compositions, photographs and films have been exhibited internationally. See bio for more details.Winter 2025
Doing double duty this semester: at Concordia I'm teaching Introduction to Film Genres, an undergrad seminar on hallucinogens and art, and a grad seminar on Canadian Cinema with a focus on British Columbia. At Champlain I'm teaching The Vision of Art and Ethics, Law and Civilization. I have a video essay on sound in the films of Gus Van Sant in the current issue of Alphaville, and my chapter on Stan Douglas' iOS app Circa 1948 has just surfaced in the The Interactive Documentary in Canada collection (McGill-Queen's University Press). I have begun work on my next short film, Displacements, an experimental documentary on the life of my father in Vancouver, BC. I recently completed the sound design for a new film collaboration with Gerda Cammaer, Sea Changes, now on the festival circuit. I have a short text on the silent film Little Lindy Sang forthcoming in the Oxford Companion to Teaching Silent Film. And I am prepping a grad seminar on BC Film for Concordia in the winter.Links to My Stuff
