Biography

I completed my doctoral studies in Sociology at Nuffield College in 2009; my thesis was entitled Degrees of Success: The Education of the Second Generation in Canada and Britain. Upon finishing my doctorate, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute on The Integration of the European Second Generation (TIES) project. I joined the Institute for Social Change in December 2010 as a research associate on the Social Complexity of Immigration and Diversity (SCID) project, a project that uses complexity science to look at the impact of immigration and diversity on social cohesion. As part of the SCID project, I focus on voting behaviour and inter-ethnic partnerships.I completed my doctoral studies in Sociology at Nuffield College in 2009; my thesis was entitled Degrees of Success: The Education of the Second Generation in Canada and Britain.
