Title in Progress: Multimodal Rhetoric in Women’s Neuro-Autoethnography: Building Synaptic Communities
"My research is situated at the intersection of Neuroscience and Humanities, in which I analyze autobiographical narratives across media of six public women that live with brain conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy. I plan to identify how they organize and frame their lived experiences within such health conditions. Moreover, I am interested in how their narratives and performances, grounded in rhetoric and communication studies, translate the medical discourse into vernacular knowledge in transmedial contexts such as the Internet, which contributes to the formation of a virtual audience. This dissertation uses digital ethnography as a methodological tool, and it aims to contribute to an interdisciplinary approach within the Humanities."

Eric is a HUMA PhD candidate. He received his MA at Wilfrid Laurier University from the department of English and Film Studies with a specialization in Gender and Genre. He received his BA from the University of Guelph with a double major in English & Theatre Studies and History. His dissertation research is focused on exploring the vigilante as a mythic figure within American culture and texts. In particular, he is exploring how the narratives constructed in America create lessons that validate and romanticize vigilante figures—factual and fictional. He is also exploring how gender and race impact the portrayal and reception of vigilante figures, and the different forms of vigilantes which can be found to the right and left of the American political spectrum.
Expanding the definition of a vigilante as one who uses violence—in any form—in the pursuit of "justice" instead of the more narrow view of a vigilante being a figure who takes the law into their own hands—though this does fall under the large framing of the vigilante figure.

Sasan is a Ph.D. student of Humanities at York University. He has earned two master’s degrees in English Literature and Humanities and his previous research centred around diasporic fiction and refugee studies. In particular, he researched the plight of Indian immigrants to the United States in Jhumpa Lahiri’s fiction and addressed the impact of the notion of the American Dream on new immigrants to the U.S. In that research, Sasan tried to analyze the in-between status of new immigrants and investigated the processes of assimilation to the culture of their hostland. During his second MA at York University, Sasan looked at relationships of power and violence in a refugee camp in Manus Island using Behrooz Boochani’s novel, No Friend but the Mountains, as my object of study. His Ph.D. research will delve into works of prison literature and issues of human rights and will be an extension of his previous research, yet on a broader scale.
Shahab is a doctoral candidate in Humanities at York University where he has also completed an MA in Humanities. He holds an MBA and a BA in Economics from McMaster University. His additional qualifications are in commercial aviation. His current research interests examine human work interactions in the aerospace industry to investigate sustainability barriers. While exploring the experience of current aircraft maintenance engineers and commercial airline pilots, he accounts for the history of early aviation innovations where technologies and imaginaries were tied to flight with transcendent hope in the West. In the balance between technology dominance and humanism, mobilities of professional labour and emerging Asian capabilities, challenge the traditional discourse. Aerospace professionals are less likely to be homogenous today. While economic competitiveness and uncompromising safety standards are universally sought, highly specialized talent is now offered by those exhibiting race alterity and ethnic alterity. Opposition to dominance may be internalized, so how do these diverse groups prepare and perform optimally in this increasingly global, male-dominated and profit-driven technology sector? What are the core structural concerns and identity barriers to overcome?
Other aspects of his research include parallels in motor culture masculinity, male bonding and camaraderie through motorcycling. This is to better understand masculine hegemonic ideals. He has also presented conference papers on the construction of masculinity. He examines Western ideologies of man as the conqueror in contrast to the example of classical Persian literary humanism which presents Iranian male masculinity as a form of guardianship. These explorations ask: what is to be expected as we look ahead beyond global fears?
