A hub for some of my media, politics, and public engagements—some of which are linked to my academic work (e.g. music and politics), but most of which are from broader political organizing and activism.

Political goals can only be realized in groups, so I join organizations that share my political convictions and aspirations. I am open about these affiliations because they inform my academic work:

International Socialists (Canada)

Solidarity (Australia)

Both of the above are part of the International Socialist Tendency, a network of sibling organizations across the world.
