About
I’m an award-winning journalist and a deputy national editor at The Globe and Mail. Formerly, I was the editorial director of Xtra Magazine. My book Boys: What it Means to Become a Man (HarperCollins Canada and Seal Press) was a Canadian bestseller, won the Writers’ Trust of Canada Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing and was named one of the Globe and Mail’s 100 Favourite Books of 2018.
My feature writing and criticism has appeared in The Walrus, The Globe and Mail, NewYorker.com, Toronto Life, Today's Parent, Hazlitt and RealLife.com. I’m a frequent guest host on CBC Radio's Day 6 and The Sunday Magazine.
For four years, my weekly column on politics, pop culture and feminism appeared in Chatelaine, where I was the editor-at-large. I was the deputy editor of The Grid, an internationally recognized newsweekly and a senior editor at The Walrus.
I’ve taught journalism at Ryerson University and University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.
