My research reflects broad interests in the areas of critical policy analysis and multi-scalar governance. I engage qualitative approaches to research with a fascination for studying how actors assemble around policies and how governance practices emerge through these assemblages. My approach to research is informed by socio-material perspectives, including actor-network theory and assemblage theories that inform policy ethnography. Within these parameters, I am interested in exploring issues of governance, internationalization, gender, and justice. I'm interested to supervise graduate students on research in these areas, too.

My current research relates to the governance of higher education by looking at the ways in which different state and non-state actors interact through policy. I am leading an international project that examines the different actors and issues involved in refugee access to higher education and a second project about the non-state policy actors involved in internationalization in universities. I am also leading a project that examines how university governance and policy is changing through students' engagement with digital technologies related to discourses of employability during the COVID-19 pandemic. In other areas, my research explores the knowledge contributions of women scholars in the field of educational administration and leadership.

Mapping International Refugee Access to Higher Education

The purpose of this research is to map the advocacy networks of actors working on issues of refugee access to higher education in Canada, France, and England. Using digital methods, we aimed to explore which actors make up the broader issue of refugee access to higher education, what the relationships are between these actors, and how the issues of refugee access to higher education are constructed differently between our three countries of interest.  Click on image to see all project details.
