Erin’s doctoral research explores the international politics of migration, with a particular focus on India as an emigration state.

India is a long-standing country of interest for Erin. Her MPhil examined state-big business relations in India after economic liberalisation, and Erin has worked for Microsoft India on community engagement, including a pilot project to develop mobile phone technology to deliver maternal health information in local dialects to pregnant women in rural India. Erin worked as a research assistant for several years at the Canadian Program on Genomics and Global Health, a think-tank which aims to harness the advances of innovative technologies for global health. Erin was a member on the Genomics and Nanotechnology Working Group for the United Nations Millennium Project Task Force on Science, Technology and Innovation in 2005. She holds a BA in Philosophy and Bioethics from the University of Toronto.
