My doctoral work explores how 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals navigate dating and intimacy in rural Canadian settings. Rooted in queer and rural criminology, my research centres participants’ lived experiences to better understand how the spatialization of violence and identity-based marginalization intersect, shaping relationship strategies and safety practices. Findings from my research will be used to develop accessible research briefs that are to be distributed to stakeholders within the education system to inform curricula on healthy relationships and violence prevention strategies.
