Biography
I received my PhD in Geography at the University of British Columbia, where I subsequently carried out postdoctoral work in association with the Global Suburbanisms project at York University. My research has focused on urban informality, the uses of housing, the evolution of suburban ways of living, and the settlement process of transnational migrants in metropolitan Canada. I am also interested in the links between urbanization and grassroots politics in the global north and south.
