My research interests lie in urban and grassroots informal politics and my projects focus on clientelism, violence, and forms of resistance and resilience in marginalized communities in Latin America and the Caribbean. While my training is in comparative politics, my work is multidisciplinary, situated at the intersections of political science, sociology, geography, and anthropology. I have held several Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and Fonds de recherche du Québec grants, including a current SSHRC Insight Grant for a project with Jean François Mayer, 'Informality, Violence, and Resistance in Latin America and the Caribbean'. I direct Concordia's Lab for Latin American and Caribbean studies and the Informal Cities Working Group, and am a member of the Montreal Latin American Studies Network.
