    About

    Megan (Meg) Ingram (they/them) is a second year PhD student and Vanier Scholar in the Social Practice and Transformational Change program at the University of Guelph. Their identities as a queer, lesbian, and multiply-disabled artist, educator, and academic inform their interdisciplinary approach to their research and their strong investment in approachable and accessible knowledge mobilization.

    Meg’s doctoral research exists at the intersections and boundaries of frequently siloed disciplines including clinical pain studies, health rhetoric, and queer theory to explore the lived experiences of queer people assigned female at birth (AFAB) with pain measurement. Their Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship funded research project “Do You Believe Me?”: Exploring AFAB LGBTQ2SIA+ People's Emotional Experiences of Reproductive Pain Measurement" aims to critically intervene on the flattening process enacted by normative pain scales, and asks participants to engage, through rigorous interview and co-created art, with their relationship to both pain and pain scales.

    Meg holds a Master of Arts in Sociology from Queen’s University and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Sociology from the University of Victoria. At the University of Guelph, Meg is also a Graduate Research Assistant at the Live Work Well Research Centre, and a Graduate Research Assistant and Digital Storytelling Facilitator at The Re•Vision Centre for Art and Social Justice. Beyond the University of Guelph, Meg is also a Creative Scholar in Virtual Residence at the LGBTQ+ Oral History Digital Collaboratory housed at the University of Toronto. Here, they are the lead researcher of a new component of a SSHRC Insight Grant that seeks to explore and counter-archive queer and disabled activisms in Toronto through documentary film
