Canonical archive
The published spine lives here, with Academia.edu as the wider outward mirror.
This on-site index is designed for precision and readability, but it is no longer framed as a thin selective sampler. It names the broader paper line while keeping publication claims properly bounded.
On-site method
Published spine, not the whole paper line.
Publication entries stay separate from drafts and exploratory records so readers can evaluate claims at the right confidence level without losing sight of the broader archive.
The on-site paper line now reads as a fuller archive rather than a thin sampler: 24 paper records spanning queer ritual studies in Montreal, gender and legitimacy work, later media analysis, and the newer governance-method turn. The published spine remains here, while working papers, circulating manuscripts, and confirmation-stage records stay public elsewhere on the site with explicit status.
Research genealogy
2014-2020 · Queer ritual, pagan Montreal, and legitimacy
The first major line centers Montreal pagan communities, queer religiosity, gender performance, authenticity, and the social work required to make authority or identity legible.
Research genealogy
2023-2026 · Media, embodiment, and cultural power
Later work turns toward popular culture and media objects, asking how power, embodiment, branding, and legitimacy get staged in figures like Korra, Buffy, and the witches of Charmed.
Research genealogy
2026- · Recursive governance, methods, and public tooling
The newest line translates earlier interpretive training into recursive governance, evidence discipline, and public method surfaces. The subject changes; the question of authority does not.
