Jerry Flores talks about his academic journey and his research on missing and murdered Indigenous women
From a high school drop-out to an assistant professor, Dr. Jerry Flores has overcome several obstacles along his journey to academia. He is currently an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Toronto Mississauga, a 2019 recipient of the Connaught New Researcher Award, a researcher and advocate for missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, and an author.
