LinkedIn profile

I am currently a political sociologist and associate professor at the University of Toronto. My career is dedicated to social research, services, care, and activism. I study the social organization of knowledge about migration, minoritization, the body and the state. I ask questions about the people, politics and places involved in exclusionary health and social policy and the medical, legal, and bureaucratic practices that support these exclusions. My fieldsites are in Canada, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, and Romania. My book Screening Out (2022) is an institutional ethnography of the Canadian immigration system’s medical program and HIV-related policy. In addition to monograph and scholarly article, I publish in formats such as prose, popular and scholarly blog, film, photo exhibit, podcast, and art installation. I am fluent in English and French.
