Current projects analyze voting behavior among naturalized Canadians and second-generation immigrants.
Her 2020 book Divided by the Wall investigates how immigration politics substitutes for class struggles in the U.S., while recent articles explore themes like gun politics in anti-immigration mobilization and transnationalism in neoliberal Canada.
