About
I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science interested in critical border and migration studies. For my doctoral research, I aim to explore the effects of border control practices and policies on irregular migration—more specifically, the consequences of the criminalization of migration on human rights. I am also interested in the gendered and racialized consequences of migration control practices, the effects of these practices on Indigenous and climate migrants, as well as displacement-related vulnerability and agency.
