Research

Dr. Tom Kemple has brought research and teaching together in very compelling and creative ways, through his teaching work in the Urban Ethnographic Field School and a global seminar in Guatemala (both of which provide research opportunities for students) but also through research he is currently engaged in examining these very fields schools and the experiences of students and community partners, truly bringing research and teaching into dialogue with each other.  

"Housing crises, the labour market—especially the uncertain and precarious labour market—unemployment and underemployment are all factors that influence people’s decision to stay at home or return back to their parents’ place," PhD candidate Umay Kader is conducting interviews with people aged 25 to 34 who live with their parents in Metro Vancouver to learn how they navigate these living arrangements.
