I am an associate professor of economics in the School of Public Policy and Urban Studies at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. My research interests are varied, spanning applied/empirical economics, labour economics, economic inequality (especially labour market inequalities and discrimination experienced by women, immigrants, and racial minorities), and more recently the role of ideological biases in mainstream economics. However, one identifiable theme in his work is studying and challenging the mechanisms and processes that hinder plurality and produce inequality, injustice, exclusion, and marginalization.
