She completed her Bachelor degree at Trent University with a double major in Philosophy and Cultural Studies as well as a specialization in Image, Sound and Performance. She focused primarily on political theory and aesthetics. She chose to broaden her understanding of analytic philosophy by attending University of St. Andrews in Scotland where the focus of her thesis was on intrinsic value in environmental ethics. After completing her MLitt, Samantha has remained engaged with environmental theory and is currently completing research on the formal use of landscape in early cinema and both modern and postmodern theories of the sublime. Her other research interests include: Avant-garde and Experimental film; Indigenous media; film technology; Romantic landscape painting; Post-structuralism; and, Critical Theory, specifically the Frankfurt School and Marxism.
