I received my PhD in Political Science from McGill University in 2007 and my BA in Political Science from the University of Toronto in 1995. I have been teaching at Laurier since 2006.
My research encompasses both historical and contemporary studies of Canadian citizenship, multiculturalism, immigration and refugee policy. At present I am working on two main strands of research: the first surveys Canadian policies towards asylum seekers in the post-Second World War period while the second explores changes to Canadian citizenship acquisition, maintenance and revocation in the 21st century.
In a related vein to the first research strand, I am working three sub-projects: one that seeks to contextualise Canadian refugee policy within the deep historical reality of Canadian settler colonialism, another that looks specifically at the history of Canadian policies to towards Rohingya refugees in Canada and abroad, and a third that examines the role of policy history in designing contemporary refugee policies in Canada.
