  My research is broadly concerned with contemporary developments in policing

  security

  and public safety. I am particularly interested in these themes in relation to cities and urban governance. My previous research examined the securitization of the Olympic Games in the post-9/11 period. This research has been published in Security Dialogue

  International Political Sociology

  the British Journal of Sociology

  the Canadian Journal of Sociology

  and Urban Studies. I am currently working on a two-year project funded by a SSHRC Insight Development Grant (2014-2016) in which I am investigating the embrace of resilience in critical infrastructure security policy in Canada. This project is animated by my interests in the ‘politics of catastrophe’ and the question of how we plan for unknowable and potentially catastrophic risks.\n\nI teaching courses on organized crime and urban security governance in the Department of Sociology & Legal Studies at the University of Waterloo. I also teach a course on big data and social innovation at the Stratford Campus of the University of Waterloo.
