Hi there! My name is Mia and I'm currently pursuing a doctoral degree at the University of St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto. 

I started this website for two reasons. First, to include my academic CV, information about my dissertation, publications and the interviews I've recently participated in. They are a helpful resource if you're interested in learning more about my research. And second, to create a space where I could express my thoughts, work on my writing and further my pursuit of knowledge. I spend a lot of time in my head (more than I’d like to admit) and I felt I needed a forum where I could articulate those thoughts into something more concrete. My goal is to use this blog to talk about issues that are important to me and maybe, just maybe, it will resonate with others. Or even better, it will invoke a type of “consciousness raising" where questions are asked and dialogue can occur. I don’t claim absolute truth and I welcome & appreciate difference of opinion. Not everyone will agree with me and that’s okay. But I hope this is a space that is kind, respectful and compassionate. To put it simply, think of this blog as a stop along the way in your own pursuit of knowledge.
