Current Book (research in progress):

I have begun a book about the Lennoxville and District Women’s Centre. It explores the 25 year history of the Centre and its role as advocate for English-speaking women’s rights in Québec’s Eastern Townships. The book will consist of interviews with members, a project funded by the ETRC in the summer of 2004, and a content analysis of the Centre’s archives. I plan to expand this into a research project that explores women who are part of minority language groups throughout Canada and how this marginalized status affects their activism.
