My doctoral research was an investigation into the processes, refusals, and limitations of political recognition and official commemorations for past injustices and community grievances in a settler state. My postdoctoral research (2024 – 2026) builds upon this work and methodology to examine the legibility of grief in public history co-hosted by Concordia University’s Thinking Through the Museum and the School for Community and Public Affairs. Since 2022, I have been the Project Manager for The Disaster Lab, a historical research project that explores the history of disasters and interrogates the role of migration and citizenship in how state and civil society actors have responded in times of strife.
Academic Interests: Public History, Memory Studies, Visual Studies, Critical Race Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, Environmental History, and Political Economy.
