Agricultural and Environmental Policy | International Development |Migration | Race, Culture, and U.S. State Power
My research and teaching are situated in the field of Transnational American Studies, with an emphasis on comparative and relational inquiry across Native American/Indigenous Studies, Africana Studies, and Environmental Humanities. Trained as an interdisciplinary environmental historian, I focus my research on how modes of anticipatory governance in moments of “natural” or “ecological” crisis re-entrench historic entanglements of racialization, colonization, and accumulation.
I carry out my research and writing in both academic and think tank settings. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Center for the Humanities at Tufts University and a Project Policy Analyst with the Global Justice program at the Othering & Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley (formerly known as the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society).
