We’re going to call this page, and the few things attached to it, a placeholder until I have a proper academic website.
What you’ll eventually find branching out from this short introduction are my academic accomplishments in each academic year I’ve been registered as a student this go around. Eventually, there will some notes and progress reports on my main project, and probably an academic CV to cap things off, which currently only exists as point form notes but it’s supposed to be a background project during the summer.
In the meantime, here’s a bit of text describing the new adventure of my academic journey and, maybe more relevantly depending on why you’re here, the poster I’m presenting at CASCA 2026. Clicking the tiny image below should open up the full-size version.
Alternately, going to “press” momentarily and with minimal (although not none) use of online translation apps and heavy use of a dictionary and French Wikipedia, the French version of the poster. During the graduate student workshop last year, it was discussed that there used to be a larger French presence at the conferences and there wasn’t a clear idea on how to rectify that. The conference is in Montreal this year and while my French cannot in any way be said to be good, I can fumble my way (slowly) through a translation of my own and have a QR code to link to a copy. If I feed my French text into a translator to get English back, it comes back as essentially what I want it to say, but it’s currently being reviewed by someone who’s actually bilingual.
