Topic: Recognition and Culture: Youth gangs and the demands of liberal, democratic citizenship; the case of Toronto, Canada, and London, England

My main area of study is political theory and popular culture; in particular youth of Afro-Caribbean descent who are involved with gangs and how governments view their obligations in dealing with the issues of integration (or lack thereof), and security that arise out of the membership of these youths in gangs. In my doctoral work I propose to develop a normative framework based on the liberal theories of both Will Kymlicka and John Rawls, alongside critical recognition theory as developed by Axel Honneth, and others such as Charles Taylor.
