Goodbye Axelle Demus, Knowledge Mobilization Officer
Axelle Demus is moving on from their Knowledge Mobilization Officer position to focus on their dissertation, which traces the history of LGBTQ2+ community television in Ontario from the 1970s to the early 2000s.
They are very grateful for their time as KMO and will be keeping in touch with our network, as we are pleased to announce that they will be staying on as a Student Researcher and as the York University Student Lead for the coming year.
A Message from Axelle:
Dear A/CA Network,
I hope you are all doing well. I have truly enjoyed getting to know each and everyone of you (mostly virtually!) in the past year. You are all doing incredible work and I feel beyond grateful to have been working alongside such an amazing network of people.
I also would like to thank Janine, Aimée, and Mike for giving me this wonderful opportunity, and for all the support that they have provided me throughout these trying times.
I hope to stay in touch in the future, and I very much look forward to seeing you all in person eventually! Please do not hesitate to reach out as well: ademus44@yorku.ca.
Warmly,
Axelle
