Isobel is a MA candidate at Ryerson’s Literatures of Modernity program and a graduate of the University of Toronto with an honours degree in English and Sexual Diversity Studies. Her interests lie in telling stories and amplifying voices, Canadian literature, and Toronto’s queer history (and future!).
