您好！
I’m a PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia (UBC) School of Population and Public Health (SPPH). My doctoral research focuses on the effects of clinician-sourced misinformation on Two-Spirit, transgender, and gender expansive (2S/TGE) healthcare experiences and outcomes.
My research interests include Critical Disinformation Studies, mis- and disinformation as they relate to and affect systemically marginalized populations, conceptions of queer identities and how they are shaped by access or barriers to information, health information behaviour, and community-based responses to health information inequity.
My work is grounded in critical theories and frameworks that include critical disinformation studies, critical race theory, queer theory, critical disability theory, intersectionality, and abolitionism.
Positionality
I am a racialized, East Asian, trans-nonbinary person. I live with and am disabled by chronic illness. I grew up in a multilingual immigrant household and have called several countries home including Fiji, Taiwan, Australia, and Canada. All of these countries have unique colonial histories, of which I have benefited from directly as an immigrant/colonial settler.
