My name is Erin Carr and I am extremely excited to begin my studies as a graduate student in the Work and Society program at McMaster University. Before coming to McMaster, I completed my undergraduate studies at Carleton University,  acquiring an honours degree in Political Science with a concentration in International Relations. My academic interests include a focus on global political economy, and the downward movement of wages as a result of neoliberal globalization. Much of my research as an undergraduate student focused on the role international institutions played in promoting neoliberalism within the Global South. For leisure, I enjoy watching baseball and going fishing.
