I’m a regular faculty member in the Department of Philosophy at Douglas College in New Westminster, British Columbia. I have previously held the following positions: College Professor (term appointment) in the Department of Philosophy at Okanagan College in Kelowna, British Columbia; Visiting Fellow in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton; and Sessional Instructor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario. I finished my PhD in June 2014 in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario and was a member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy.  My current research focuses on the ethics of housing policy as well as historical and contemporary concepts of poverty and distributive justice.

I am currently directing the project, “Changing the Conversation: Re-envisioning Narrative Engagement about Housing Insecurity in Communities”, which runs from 2022-2025 and which is generously supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Canada Council for the Arts.
