Nancy Cook is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at Brock University. Her research specializes in gender and sexuality, qualitative research methodologies, and the social implications of globalization and mobility. Cook’s scholarly work has centered on the experiences of development workers in Pakistan, particularly focusing on the gendered aspects of mobility within the context of globalization and imperialism. She examines the lived experiences of Muslim women facing Islamophobia and processes of social inclusion and exclusion in Canada. Her ongoing projects also include exploring the social implications of infrastructure development in rural Northern Pakistan, specifically in relation to the impacts of road construction and communication networks on local communities. As a core faculty member of the graduate programs in Critical Sociology and Social Justice Equity Studies, Professor Cook fosters interdisciplinary collaborations in her research endeavors, contributing to debates on mobility justice, gender relations, and postcolonial studies.
