Title: 
Postdoctoral Fellow
Biography : 

My research explores urban claim-making and urban political mobilization processes through an intersectional lens. My postdoctoral project examines how gender and class together shape urban residents' claims for the right to the city.

My doctoral work, which was conducted as a Gates Cambridge Scholar, investigated cross-class political action as an alternative to entrenched clientelistic norms in urban contexts.

I have previously taught on urban politics, urban citizenship, and global urbanism at the University of Toronto, University College London, and the University of Cambridge.
