Hello! I'm an Assistant Professor (Term) in Simon Fraser University's School of Public Policy and a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science, University of British Columbia. I study the politics behind health policy processes and outcomes, with a focus on non-state actors and across local-to-global scales of governance. Often, my work explores the intersection of global health issues and environmental politics — bringing a health angle to environmental issues, or vice versa. 

My current research program is on pandemic governance. This includes my dissertation research on medical oxygen and vaccine governance through the partnership that governed the global COVID-19 response. I am also part of a CIHR-funded project studying COVID-19 policy in four Canadian provinces. Like many, I am following the rise of artificial intelligence in global health. You can read my latest work on this, written with my co-author Lucia Vitale, in Social Science & Medicine.

Reflecting my interdisciplinary training in international relations, public health, and disability studies, my research has been published as a co-edited book (with Peter Dauvergne), Global Environmental Politics in a Turbulent Era, and in peer-reviewed journals spanning multidisciplinary audiences such as,  Social Science & Medicine, The Extractive Industries and Society, The Lancet Global Health, The Journal of Environment & Development,  The Lancet Planetary Health, Canadian Journal of Public Health, BMC Public Health, Health and Human Rights Journal, and the Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities.
