(he, him)
Associate Professor of Economics, School of Public Policy and Urban Studies Program, Simon Fraser University

My academic inquiries and intellectual pursuits are driven by a curiosity to engage with and interrogate issues that captivate my thoughts and concern me on a personal and professional level. This approach has led me down different paths—some less travelled, others well-trodden.

My work is a testament to the belief that intellectual growth and societal contribution do not solely arise from depth in a narrow domain of inquiry but can also flourish through breadth and the integration of diverse perspectives.

While my research often utilizes quantitative analysis, I also maintain a keen interest in qualitative and mixed-method approaches. Some of my main research areas of interest include economic inequality (with a spotlight on labour market inequalities and discrimination experienced by women, immigrants, and ethnic minorities); precarity in the labour market; public attitudes toward immigration and the forces shaping these views; the influence of ideological underpinnings in neoclassical economics; and the broader scope of political economy.
