Research
Research Assistant, Carleton University, 2021-2022
In 2022, I worked as a research assistant at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. I conducted interviews and collected diversity-related data on the experiences of racialized graduate students in engineering and architecture
Thesis Dissertation Research, Carleton University, 2015-2021
My doctoral research was about the lived experiences of a group of first-generation Asian Canadian youth who were streamed by the education system into science and technology occupations. I examined the classed dimensions of their migrant childhoods, and explored the impact of occupational and disciplinary socialization on their political outlooks, civic engagement, and identity formation.
