Assistant Professor, Faculty of Media, Arts and Performance, University of Regina

I'm an artist-scholar who has worked in over 15 countries across four continents. I focus on using theatre for community engagement, promoting social change and creating brave and safe spaces for conversations. My current research focuses on using theatre with immigrants, refugees and newly-arrived youth and families in Canada, and with police, on issues of equity, diversity and inclusion.
I am the founding artistic director of Theatre Emissary International, Nigeria, and a research associate at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.
