An EconoTimes perspective

Sessional Lecturer, University of British Columbia

Sessional Lecturer, University of British Columbia My research focuses on job quality and occupational health within the platform economy. Specifically, I explore how differences in jurisdictional and federal regulations, along with the transnational nature of some platform jobs, create a grey area between policy and action. Additionally, I examine how platform companies' use of machine learning models in workforce management impacts the occupational experiences of marginalized workers, such as immigrants. I hold a Master's degree in Public Policy and Global Affairs and am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy within the UBC Faculty of Medicine. I also serve as a sessional lecturer at UBC.
