BIO
Biography

Treena Orchard is an anthropologist, author, and activist who researches sexuality, gender, and the politics of health among marginalized groups and within the context of her own life. She is currently an Associate Professor & Undergraduate Chair in the School of Health Studies at Western University in London, Ontario. Alongside supervising graduate students, teaching, and fawning over her cats (or any cats, for that matter), she engages in many acts of public scholarship. This includes the uniquely compelling and comedic memoir about dating apps, sexuality, and our relationship with technology she is writing. It's called Sticky Sexy Sad: Swipe Culture and the Darker Side of Dating Apps and will be published in 2024 with University of Toronto's trade imprint AEVO.
