About
I am a PhD student in the department of Adult Education at OISE/University of Toronto. My research interests are primarily in the areas of cultural analysis and policy analysis in education, with a focus on cosmopolitanism and secularism. My current research is a qualitative/social semiotic study of Muslim women's experiences of wearing the niqab (full face covering). Funded by the Ontario Trillium foundation, in partnership with the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, my research aims to provide policy-makers with insight into issues of accessibility to social and health services for Muslim women in Canada.
Theoretically, my work draws on Talal Asad, Saba Mahmood, Emmanuel Levinas, and Judith Butler.
