Sociologist and Assistant Professor at the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business, University of Waterloo I am a sociologist of work and culture. Currently I examine the unintended consequences of policies aimed at reducing inequality. This includes studying the relationship between flexible work policy and gender inequality, and diversity and inclusion efforts in the music industry. Throughout my career to date, I have always endeavoured to amplify the policy implications surfaced in my work. This has resulted in op-eds in the Globe & Mail, Toronto Star, Policy Options, and policy reports with/for: Vanier Institute of the Family, National Research Council, Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, and the Canadian Live Music Association, among others.
