Collaborative research
-
- From Feb. 2022 to Jan. 2023, I was a York University research assistant for the SSHRC-funded project International Students are “Ideal” Immigrants: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Study-Migration Pathways in Canada, Australia and Germany (PI: Roopa Trilokekar Desai). As a team, we are preparing publications based on the data collected. I co-presented research from this project at the following:
- 2022 International Metropolis Conference in Berlin
- 2022 Association for the Study of Higher Education Conference in Las Vegas
- 2023 DAAD Science Workshop (Wissenschaftswerkstatt)
- I am a member of the Canadian migration and collaborative autoethnography research (CAMCAR) group which explores the use of collaborative autoethnography in migration research. We have published three papers together so far, and a fourth is in preparation.
- I supported an amazing group of Bachelor of Education students with their Decolonization, SOGI, and Teacher Identity: B.Ed. Self-Reflective Writing Project, which received a 2021-2022 UBC Faculty of Education Student Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization (EDID) Funding Grant. Check out the zine they created!
