Academic History

Ph.D. in Theology, 2009
University of Saint Michael's College, Toronto School of Theology
Dissertation: “Turning Points in Identity and Theology: Bisexual Women Choosing Between Monogamous and Polyamorous Relationships”
Supervisor: Marilyn Legge

My dissertation examines the conflation of bisexuality with polyamory. I used voice-centred relational analysis and critical theory to examine email interviews with bisexual women in the Toronto area. I show how participant’s relationship choices are incorporated (or not) into their bisexual identity.
