Community Engagement Officer

In her role as CEO (!), Elizabeth works to develop and sustain partnered creative research projects with a broad range of people and groups. Her work in non-profit, activist, and academic contexts has addressed a range of inter-connected themes—including environmental justice, human rights, the politics and implications of artistic representation, the ways we think about time, and the relationships between formal education and broader social realities—all of which inform her commitment to ethical and sustained engagement with communities. If you have questions or ideas about ICASP and IICSI's partnered work and outreach activities, Elizabeth is keen to hear them.

Elizabeth holds a PhD (English & Cultural Studies) from McMaster University, and completed her BA and MA at the University of Guelph.

...the innovative working models of improvisation developed by creative practitioners have helped to promote a dynamic exchange of cultural forms, and to encourage new, socially responsive forms of community building across national, cultural, and artistic boundaries.
