PhD Candidate, Political Science, University of Toronto

I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on the politics of global finance. My dissertation project explores the history of international efforts to mitigate moral hazard in cross-border banking and post-2008 attempts to harmonize bankruptcy procedures for systemically important financial institutions.
