Research themes:

Immigration and cities

My research interests are at the intersection of migration studies, urban geography, critical economic geography, and critical border studies. The empirical context of my research includes Canada and various parts of the world, including Germany, South Africa, and the United States. I'm especially interested in supervising graduate students on the topics of urban migrant and refugee solidarity and Indigenous-migrant relations.
