I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at York University. My research on political culture, migration and cities has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Social Forces, International Political Science Review, International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Urban Studies, Geoforum, The American Sociologist, Journal of Contemporary China, Chinese Sociological Review, The China Review,  the Chinese Journal of Sociology, and Oxford Handbook of Social and Political Trust.

I believe strongly in the importance of sharing and disseminating my research findings. I have published opinion articles in Macleans-Canada’s national current affairs and news magazine, Global Dialogue-Magazine of the International Sociological Association, and The Ubyssey-UBC’s official student newspaper. I have shared my research with the public via national and international radio and newspaper forums including CBC Radio, Roundhouse Radio, Fairchild Radio, Financial Times, and University Herald.

I act occasionally as a reviewer for journals including American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Urban Studies, City & Community, Sociology of Education, International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Sociological Forum, Frontiers Psychology, International Political Science Review, Asian Journal of Comparative Politics, Chinese Journal of Communication; Social & Cultural Geography, Journal of Contemporary China, and Canadian Review of Sociology.
