• The Role of Funding Sources in Canadian Indigenous Film
  The study I propose focuses on mainstream, independent, and experimental Indigenous cinema in Canada through an investigation of how films produced in this cinematic genre are affected by the funding source: public or private. How does this change the subject matter and the aesthetic/ideological method utilized by filmmakers? Data will include interviews with filmmakers, audience surveys, and comparative analysis of publicly and privately funded films.

• Study of Second-Generation South Asian Immigrants in Toronto
  In 2008—2009, I propose to conduct a survey study on the ethnic and religious identity development of second-generation South Asian immigrants in Toronto, Ontario. Focusing on Blagladeshi and Pakistani Muslims, I will analyze how demographic information (e.g., current age, socio-economic status, and community composition) affects national, ethnic, and religious identity, acculturation style and psychological identity.
