I am a cultural anthropologist, ethnographer, and Associate Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at Thompson Rivers University, located in Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc.
My scholarly work focuses on migration and citizenship; children, youth, and families; and gender and precarious labour. My book Tender Labour (UBC Press) examines youths' experiences of migration and long-term family separation after having a parent initially come to Canada to work on temporary work permits. Through ethnographic storytelling and visual methods, this research considers the everyday forms of paid and unpaid labour youths perform to hold their families together through precarious, adverse, and hopeful times. |
My current research is the SSHRC-funded Migrant Care Worker Precarity Project. Using mixed methods, our team examines the ongoing struggles of migrant care workers in Canada under rapid labour and immigration program changes. We are a collaborative team of academic and community-based researchers and activists committed to migrant justice first and foremost.
