I am a Romanian-born Canadian scholar who writes and researches on the lands of the Huron Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. I am Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Museum Studies at the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto, and affiliate member of the Culinaria Research Center (University of Toronto Scarborough). I completed my undergraduate degree in Communication at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College (now Randolph College) in Lynchburg, VA, and my master’s degree in French Studies at New York University. I obtained my Doctorate in Communication Studies from the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University in 2011. Before joining the Faculty of Information in January 2013, I spent one year as A.W. Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Global Communication at the American University of Paris.
