Madeleine is a U3 student completing her degree in honours urban studies, with a minor in sociology. She was born in France and lived in Paris until she was seven, subsequently moving to the East Coast before coming to Montreal for her studies. Her academic interests lie in understanding different urban fabrics and the relationship between power, design, and day to day urban use and mobility. Her BLUE project is focusing on better understanding and visualizing the relationship between a physical disability and urban space use, looking to create an immersive art installation conveying these exploratory findings and contribute to ongoing discussions concerning issues of accessibility and physical disability in Montreal.

Talk to Madeleine about: avocados, qualitative research methods that are rooted in feminist theory, and ruminating about the lives of strangers you pass by everyday in the city and what it means to be 'here' and not 'there'.
