Assistant Professor of Higher Education, University of Toronto
I am an Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. I study how global trends affect national higher education policies, institutional practices, and students’ lives - and ultimately, what this means for who attends university, where they do so, and what they learn. My current research agenda focuses on a number of global trends: privatization, internationalization and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
I am the PI of a four-year SSHRC Insight Grant (IG) that is developing new cross-national data and analysis on the effects of private higher education globally, and a three-year SSHRC Partnership Development Grant examining the impact of COVID on higher education internationalization.
I am major contributor to the research literatures in the field of comparative education and comparative higher education. I have strong record of publication, including a forthcoming book (University of Toronto Press) on higher education in the Arab world, and roughly 30 articles in major journals, including in the Sociology of Education, Canadian Journal of Higher Education and Comparative Education Review.
