Charlotte holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts from Western University (Double Major Theatre Studies and Music, 2023), and a Masters of Applied Literary Arts from the Memorial University of Newfoundland. She is a current MA candidate in McMaster University’s Communications and New Media Program, and will continue her studies at McMaster in Fall 2025 with a SSHRC-funded PhD in English and Cultural Studies.

To date, her research has explored topics including music and community in times of crisis (“‘A Gesture of Solidarity Through Music:’ Local and International Community in Benefit Concerts for Ukraine,” Scholarship@Western, 2022); speculative fiction and hopefulness (“On Fantastical Terms: Ownership, Reimagination, and Hope in Fantasy Storytelling,” undergraduate thesis, 2023); and the relationships between experiential learning, community, and place (“Place, Community, Cultural Identity: Experiential Learning and Narratives of Relocation and Return in Newfoundland,” Atlantic Canada Studies Conference, 2024).

Charlotte’s current projects explore the potential of the fantasy genre to act as a site for reimagination and revisioning of the climate crisis.
