Bio/Research
Since 1993, I have taught at Trent, Queen’s and Laurier universities. Currently, I teach in the Faculty of Arts at Laurier, in Global Studies and North American Studies.
My teaching interests relate to race and culture, the internationalization of post-secondary education, Indigenizing/decolonizing curriculum, food and culture, and immigrant identities in Canada. Questions of home and what it means to be a Canadian have underpinned my teaching.
As a diasporic, Kenyan-born, Gujarati woman, all of these interests and concerns are derived from personal experience. Teaching and thinking about teaching are central to my practice as a post-secondary educator.
My research and teaching interests include the interdisciplinary intersections of food, culture, and migration/belonging. The construction of identities through the lens of place and displacement is an additional focus of my work. I have an ongoing interest in questions of exile and race in the Canadian context. Currently, I am engaged in a new project related to food and the lived experiences of Ugandan/East African Asians expelled and displaced in the 1970s.
