In the arts, I am founding editor of Lawrence and Gibson. My latest book is Pākehā Metaphysics, a speculative anthropology and/or work of contemporary philosophy.
I'm also a novelist: in April 2022, Down from Upland was published and long listed for the Ockham NZ Book Award fiction prize. In collaboration with Renters United in 2023, my previous novel, Rat King Landlord was re-released in a full colour tabloid newspaper edition with 16 original illustrations.
In 2013 I launched the Doing Our Bit advocacy campaign to double New Zealand's refugee quota from 750 to 1500. Drawing together numerous civil society groups, the campaign led to non-partisan policy commitments of an increased quota from every political party in parliament.
I also work in the academic space, most recently as a Fulbright Scholar to write the book Visas Now! and as an affiliated scholar with the University of Auckland's Centre for Asia-Pacific Refugee Studies.
