Salmaan Khan

Salmaan Khan is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Islamophobia Research Hub at York
University, and a sessional lecturer in the Department of Criminology at Toronto Metropolitan University. Prior to this role he was Assistant Professor (LTF) in the Department of Criminology at TMU from 2023-2025, and Research Program Manager in the Office of the Chair in Social Justice and Democracy at TMU.

Salmaan completed his PhD in the interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Social and Political Thought at York University. His research can be framed along four avenues: 1. The systemic racial and gendered dimensions of the Canadian labour market, with a focus on the experiences of racialized workers; 2. The intergenerational impacts of precarious working conditions; 3. Critical epistemologies and methodologies of the social sciences,
with a focus on community-based research practices; and 4. Critical pedagogies and engaged learning practices. His community, academic, and teaching work is underpinned by a commitment to intersectional, anti-oppressive politics, and a desire for social justice.
