Salmaan Khan is a postdoctoral researcher at the Islamophobia Research Hub at York University, with a focus on economic integration of Muslims in Canada. Prior to this role he was an Assistant Professor (Limiter Term Faculty) in the Department of Criminology at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), and Research Program Manager in the Office of the Chair in Social Justice and Democracy at TMU. He completed his PhD in 2022 in the 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 capitalist production with a focus on the experiences of racialized workers in the Canadian labour market; 2.) the intergenerational impacts of precarious working conditions; 3.) critical epistemologies and methodologies of the social sciences with a focus on community-based research methods and practices; 4.) critical pedagogies and engaged learning practices. His community, academic and teaching work is underpinned by a political commitment to intersectional, anti-oppressive politics and a desire for social justice.
