My MA thesis, “In the Middle: Being Portuguese and Gay in the Wake of the Emanuel Jaques Murder in 1977 Toronto,” starts to fill-in the previously unrecorded history of the Portuguese, gay experience in Toronto around the tragic kidnap, rape & murder of a 12-year-old boy & the moral panic that followed.

See this slide deck I presented at Congress in Regina for a brief introduction to my work.

The murder inspired an estimated 15,000 protesters to march to Toronto's City Hall. Photo published in Comunidade (31, 1977)

I joined Dr. Jamin Pelkey to serve as editor for a special issue of The American Journal of Semiotics entitled “Applied Brand Semiotics.”
