Current research interests include continuing work on electronic music composer David Tudor, which began in the early 1990s, and a project more recently begun in collaboration with Dr Laura J Cameron investigating the life and practice of early Canadian field recordist William WH Gunn. In both cases the research is expressed through both published papers and works of research-creation. I am also continually developing other streams of research: an alphabet of 26 electroacoustic compositions revisiting 26 other composers' sonorities is in progress, and I regularly create sound design/scores for theatre and film. Another of my pursuits is audio recording and production in diverse genres, and some albums made with Kingston musicians have received wide recognition including Polaris Prize and JUNO nominations.

As a researcher in film studies, I am heavily invested in the queer, the taboo, and the culturally maligned. Intellectually, I am drawn to so-called ‘trash’ cinema, bottom-of-barrel, straight-to-video genre works derided as sleaze or exploitation (and certainly never labelled, “Art”). I enjoy rescuing a good ‘bad object’ from academic obscurity, especially when tied to histories of queer, trans, and women’s artmaking and/or representation. Complimentary to these pursuits, I am also invested in the concept of death positivity and how cinema as a form may help us grapple with our own impermanence.
