Dr. Salsabel Almanssori
Technology-Facilitated Violence and Resistance Scholar
Dr. Salsabel Almanssori is an Adjunct Assistant Professor and SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Education and Department of Interdisciplinary and Critical Studies at the University of Windsor. Her research employs creative methodologies to explore how technological innovation contributes to violence and inequity, while also serving as a tool for resistance against systemic harm. In addition to traditional research through interview and survey methods, Dr. Almanssori leads research programs that use participatory, arts-based, and digital methodologies. At their heart, her scholarly activities are driven by a pursuit of equity, innovation, and inclusion–values she embeds in her research, teaching, and leadership. Adopting an intersectional feminist approach that situates social experience within systemic inequity, Dr. Almanssori’s research, teaching, engagement, and impact activities tackle urgent theoretical and empirical problems around gender and racial violence, such as how digital technologies shape, disrupt and transform educational experience. Salsabel recently co-edited a special issue of the journal Girlhood Studies called The Girl in the Hijab, published in December 2023. She is a registered Ontario Certified Teacher and taught middle-school in the Greater Essex County District School Board for eight years prior to transitioning permanently to higher education.
