I am a settler raised on unceded stolen territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) peoples (Vancouver, Canada). I lived in the UK for 17 years and I'm currently based out of York University (Toronto).
I hold a BA in Political Science and Women’s Studies (Simon Fraser University, Canada), an MA in Gender Studies (SOAS, University of London), and a PhD in Social Policy (University of Edinburgh, funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council). Prior to completing my PhD, I held research and practitioner roles at equity-seeking NGOs including the Equality Challenge Unit (now Advance HE) and centred (a London-based LGBTQ community development organisation).
I am also an Honorary Fellow, University of Edinburgh, Affiliate of the Department of Political Science at Lund University and an elected member of the Steering Committee of the European Consortium for Political Research Standing Group on Gender and Politics.
