Political Economy and Historical Sociology; Sociology of the State; Critical Race Theory; Prisons and Carcerality
My research examines the role of white supremacy and carcerality in the political economy of state formation, primarily in Canada. I am interested in how practices of policing have been and continue to be mobilized to both generate and shape settler-state structures, while also contributing to (re)definitions of the ‘ideal’ political subject. I am also interested in critical pedagogy, examining my role and responsibility as a white-settler educator in supporting and enacting anti-racist and decolonial pedagogies.
