Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Biography / Academic Background
I completed my PhD at the School of Social Work, York University. I earned an MSW at the University of Toronto and a BA in Psychology at the University of Waterloo.
Research Interests / Ongoing Projects
My main areas of scholarship and research focus on the experiences of immigrants and refugees in Canada, at both the individual and community level; social policy as knowledge production and its effects on the lived experiences of individuals and groups; critical multiculturalism and critical refugee studies; and, social change through community action and engaged scholarship.
My approach to research is to seek out and promote marginalized voices and knowledge in collaborative partnerships with communities, and to reveal and disrupt the operations of structural power and oppression in discourse, practices, and policies.
Student Opportunities / Supervising
I am interested in supervising graduate students in the areas of critical refugee studies, social policy analysis and work with migrant communities.
