Biography
Before joining the department, I completed a SSHRC-funded post-doctoral fellowship with the University of Cambridge, where I studied the impacts of the Vancouver (2010) and London (2012) Olympics on low-income young people, under the supervision of Dr. Diane Reay. My SSHRC- and Killam-funded doctoral research, completed at the University of British Columbia and supervised by Dr. Jo-Anne Dillabough, examined the classed, racialized, and gendered cultural formations of youth activist communities in Canada, and their intersections with state-informed categories such as ‘citizen’ or ‘democratic engagement.’ The results from that study have been summarized in various peer-reviewed journal articles, and was published in 2011 by Palgrave-MacMillan in a monograph entitled Citizen Youth: culture, activism, and agency in a neoliberal era.
