I am a SSHRC Postdoctoral fellow and associate in the Department of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. I study the possibility of legitimate criminal justice against a background of racialized, structural injustice, focusing on Indigenous and Black people in Canada and the United States.
I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto, specializing in Political Theory and Canadian Politics. My dissertation research examined the legitimacy of criminal justice for Indigenous people in Canada.
I hold an MPhil in Politics from the University of Oxford and an Honours BA in Political Science from the University of British Columbia. Before beginning my doctoral studies, I was employed for two and a half years as a policy advisor in the Canadian federal Department of Justice.
