Hi,

​

I am the Research Coordinator for the Mobilizing Justice Partnership at the University of Toronto and a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Human Geography at the University of Toronto Scarborough.

​

My research explores the socio-spatial determinants of the transport and housing inequalities in our cities. Specifically, I focus on the intersections of transportation, the built environment, and housing to explain how urban policy and planning impact disadvantaged groups and identify the planning practices that advance the development of sustainable and inclusive cities. Some of my recent work has focused on housing and transportation costs and affordability, accessibility sufficiency, travel problems, bicycle advocacy groups, and the relationships between climate change, critical infrastructure, and health outcomes. In conducting my research, I build on my interdisciplinary education in urban planning, geography, and political science and employ a mix of advanced geospatial, quantitative, and qualitative methods.

​

I have a Ph.D. in urban and regional planning from the University of Michigan. I received my M.A. in geography and B.A. in geography and political science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
