Biography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a broadly trained human geographer with research interests in urban geography, colonial urbanisms, and inner-city neighbourhood change. If there is a single theoretical commitment that unites my research, it is an interest in understanding how and why certain inequitable social relations persist in North American cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, I am working with graduate students that are pursuing qualitative research projects on a range of urban topics. I am always eager to hear from prospective students that think Carleton might be a good place to pursue their research passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before joining DGES in 2018, I spent time in great research environments at York University (as a PhD student from 2009-2015), the University of Minnesota (as a visiting scholar in 2011-2012), and Simon Fraser University (as a post-doc from 2015 to 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
