Meet Sarah Mooney!

 

Sarah Mooney will be joining us as a mentor on Research Methods at the Youth Heritage forum on March 21st. 

Sarah Mooney is a researcher, writer, and activist from St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador. In 2023, Sarah published a ground-breaking report on the human rights abuses experienced by queer Canadian soldiers in the First World War and is currently writing a creative nonfiction book on the subject. Sarah has worked with a number of national organizations as a writer and researcher including Rainbow Veterans of Canada, EGALE Canada, The LGBT Purge Fund, the ArQuives, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Sarah is also the founder and current co-chair of the NL Queer Research Initiative, a grassroots organization that was established to promote 2SLGBTQI+ history and research in Newfoundland and Labrador. Additionally, Sarah has been nationally recognized for her advocacy campaign No Space for Hate which addresses the growing rise in anti-2SLGBTQI+ hate across the country. 

We look forward to seeing you all at the Youth Heritage Forum at the Emera Innovation Exchange and Conference Centre to learn more about research methods and topics important to heritage.
