- Assistant Researcher, Housing Policy, Urban Studies Program, Simon Fraser University
Hanan Ali is a Policy Manager at Métis Nation British Columbia and assistant researcher in Simon Fraser University's Urban Studies Program. As a M.A. alumnus of SFU’s School for International Studies, her research interests cut across social policy, comparative urban governance, social reproduction, place-making and the politics of belonging in city/neighbourhood spaces. She is interested in exploring the distinctive legal-spatial imaginaries that characterize Canada’s community housing sector, including those that inform the right to adequate, safe, and dignified housing. Her research examines various forms of precarious housing in Canadian cities, and the impact of financialization on housing rights.
