I specialize in the domains of urban anthropology, space syntax research, the social effects of urban design and political anthropology. My research investigates how the built environment concretizes the priorities of different political communities and, relatedly, how those concretized priorities mediate the lives of urbanites. In my doctoral work, I studied how socioeconomic inequality is differently managed in two Québécois cities of approximately equal size. My research was supported by the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC) from 2016-2017, by the Wolfe Fellowship for Scientific and Technology Literacy from 2017-2018 and by a SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS Doctoral Scholarship from 2013-2016. I also worked (2016-2017) as a consultant for the United Way Calgary on developing their Community Hubs Initiative and collaborated with the SSHRC-funded Neighbourhood Change Research Partnership (NCRP) on their analysis of income polarization and its spatial effects in Calgary, Alberta.
