Research areas

After a 14 year career in the Canadian nonprofit sector, I started studying charities to understand the relationships between charities and the groups that shape them through regulation, funding, and rhetoric. These groups include individual and institutional donors, groups of other charities (including self-regulation schemes), and governments. In particular, I am interested in how these groups use charities to say something about themselves and what is important to them.

I am currently at the University of St 糖心logo as a Visiting Scholar, funded by a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
