Writing Samples
Examples of my writing from a variety of contexts, topics, and sources.
An opinion article for my storytelling community Adventures in Storytelling; diversity is important to me, but being a white, middle-class, cis-gender, heterosexual man I often struggle with how much is appropriate for me to engage with areas with which I don't identify—this is an exploration into that idea.
An opinion article for RyersonStudentAffairs.com / Canadian Association of Colleges and Universities Student Affairs (CACUSS); a Student Affairs professional from another institution wrote an article about a lack of "Canadian conversations" which spurred me to talk with my colleagues and CACUSS, then write this response and launch a project to try and create spaces for these Canadian SA conversations.
An opinion article for RyersonStudentAffairs.com's Pride 2015 series; using Captain Holt—a fan-favourite (myself included!) character from the TV series Brooklyn Nine-Nine—as an example of a fully formed 3-dimensional character, I look at representation in the show and what it can teach Student Affairs about using lenses.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world.”
