About me:
Farid is an Adjunct Research Professor and a contract instructor at Carleton University’s School of Social Work. Prior to Carleton, he engaged in research and teaching at the University of Toronto where he earned his PhD in Social Work. Farid is also a Labour Relations Researcher with the Association of Justice Counsel in Ottawa where he engages in advocacy with the Government of Canada in support of better working conditions for Legal Professionals (LPs) in the federal public service.
Farid’s research interests surround examining human rights and institutional equity in the public sector context. Specifically, he is interested in uncovering mechanisms of workplace inclusion to understand how they could elevate life chances for marginalized groups and increase possibilities for all.
Farid embraces a collaborative approach in his knowledge creation and dissemination endeavours. His teaching is guided by a range of human rights theories that aim to raise our consciousness on how workplace inclusion could take us one step closer to a fairer society for everyone. As a macro social work practitioner, Farid frequently engages with federal and provincial bureaucracies to champion causes related to equity, diversity and inclusion in Canada.
With a curious fascination for understanding what makes public sector workplaces more enjoyable, Farid is keen to continue his research, teaching and labour relations advocacy practice to assist public sector employers with providing more inclusive environments for all their workers.
If you have any questions about his work or if there is any way that Farid could support you in your learning journey, he would love to hear from you.
