Research Interests

My research is centered on exploring the ongoing presence and value of the supernatural in all aspects of life. I work with divination practitioners (people who read tarot cards, astrology charts, speak with ghosts and spirits, etc.) to understand the relevance of their practices in contemporary Canadian societies. Additionally, I examine the ways in which supernatural folklore is utilised within different forms of storytelling ranging from film and television to literature.
