Biography
I am a PhD candidate in educational research at the University of Calgary, specializing in higher education leadership, policy and governance. My research portfolio includes academic integrity and ethics in international higher education. My doctoral project focuses on transformative inquiry into academic integrity with international doctoral students in Canadian universities, looking from an integrated framework of transformative learning and epistemic (in)justice. My scholarly work has been published by notable academic presses including Canadian Science Publishing, Springer, Routledge, Bloomsbury, and Policy Press. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed articles in the Journal of Academic Ethics and contributed to handbooks with Springer (Second Handbook of Academic Integrity), Bloomsbury (Handbook of Creative Research Methods), and Routledge (Handbook of Teaching Qualitative and Mixed Research Methods). I serve as an Associate Editor for the International Journal for Educational Integrity and an editorial board member for the Journal of Creative Research Methods.
