My ongoing and emerging research projects respond to a central predicament of the twenty-first century: how the pursuit of justice unfolds within complex and often contradictory configurations of power. In considering immigrants, labour, and other minority rights, rather than presuming straightforward paths toward justice, my approach seeks to map these problematics and to clarify how struggles for justice themselves become shaped by competing forces and contradictions. By analyzing where these tensions emerge and how they unfold, my research aims to illuminate the challenges facing contemporary efforts to protect minority rights.
