I am a PhD student in The Charles and Louise Travers Department of Political Science at UC Berkeley, where I am also a Citrin Fellow at the Jack Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research and a Hildebrand Fellow at the Canadian Studies Program.
I am broadly interested in identity and immigration. Lately, I have been thinking about the social construction of race, its methodological implications, and how political scientists can study racism without reifying race.1
I earned my Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto,2 where I received the Suzanne and Edwin Goodman Prize as the top graduating student in the political science specialization.
I grew up on the prairies in Treaty 7 territory. The photo here is of me and my dog Hector after taking a dip in the Red River, nestled in the badlands.
