About
I am a PhD candidate who specializes in comparative politics and Québec and Canadian Politics. My research interests are comparative public policy, street-level bureaucracy, governance and undocumented migration.
My thesis is situated at the crossroads of several fields of study; first, the literature on law: credibility assessment during hearing process, second, the literature on public servants and their use of discretionary powers broadly and their adaptation to institutional change specifically and third, critical migration studies that treat the construction of genuine and deserving refugee and undeserving and bogus refugee claimants. I have started conducting political ethnography during the hearings of refugee determinations by Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada’s Refugee Protection Division this march. I aim to observe the administrative discretion as used by the IRB members and the credibility assessment of the claimant and study the differences among them. The study will contribute to the study of political characters of street-level bureaucracy and offer insider views of Canada’s refugee determination system.
