A born-and-raised Hamiltonian, I earned a PhD in Geography from McGill University in 2022. My work is inspired by my own interdisciplinary educational journey and focuses on a wide array of topics, such as:

• municipal politics (partisanship, candidate identity, and school board issues)

• electoral politics (issues of identity, nominations, and electoral geography)

• populism (right-wing populism in Ontario, across Canada, and online)

• democratic engagement and citizenship (active citizenship, electoral systems, and voter perspectives)

• housing (student housing, cooperatives, and community engagement)

• queer spaces (gay villages, spaces of intimacy, and queer community in the digital age)

• local history (the history of Hamilton, Ontario and the surrounding region)
