About
My research focuses on experiences of immigration and settlement for people who migrate to Canada, particularly interactions with state-led programs and institutions, and uses of state-supported information infrastructures. I am currently writing my dissertation on contemporary, immigration-related name changes, with funding from Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowship (2007-2010), CERIS - The Ontario Metropolis Centre, the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation, and the University of Toronto.
With Dr. Philip Oreopoulos (Department of Economics, University of Toronto) I recently co-authored “Why Do Employers Discriminate Against Immigrant Job Applicants? Experimental Evidence from Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver” which examines motivations for name-based discrimination during a resume audit of Canada’s largest cities.
