I am an Assistant Professor who conducts research and teaches in the areas of educational policy, educational administration and sociology of education at the University of Manitoba. My research program focuses on understanding educational policy, school organization, school choice, and student learning at the K-12 level, with an emphasis on understanding the marketization and privatization of education. I currently lead a research project on educational exclusion and school choice for marginalized social groups in Canada. My teaching areas include Canadian School Systems and Its Purposes, Educational Research, and Recent Developments in Educational Administration. I lecture on the critical role that K–12 teachers and administrators play in creating socially just classrooms, schools, and society. The overall goal of my scholarship is to contribute to making substantial improvements to educational policies that shape and determine educational opportunities, outcomes, and experiences for students, especially those from historically and socially marginalized groups in increasingly diverse yet polarizing cities and countries.
