I am an Assistant Professor in the the Department of Management at UTSC and the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and a fellow at the Broadbent Institute.
Prior to my academic appointment, I served as the Chief Economist in the Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition from 2011 until 2015 in Ottawa, Ontario and as the senior aide to the Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier of British Columbia in Victoria, British Columbia from 2017 to 2019. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan in 2015.
My research focuses on topics in economic history, labour economics and public policy. In particular, I apply causal methodology from labour economics to answer questions in modern American and Canadian economic history.
My current research projects are primarily divided into two broad areas: African American protest and police killings of civilians, and the economic history of the Indigenous peoples of North America.
