Research Interests

In his research, Deleveaux explores how the migration process influence identity, with most of his work focused on the impact of migration, health, and climate change from the Caribbean. His work utilized a mixed-method approach that focuses on demographic analysis and incorporating the voice of participants in his research. The courses I teach focus on policy, population health, data analytics, and demography and how these factors shape the community we live in. Students can expect discussion and hands-on learning opportunities to apply concepts learnt in class to exciting research projects.
