Assistant Professor
Department of Anthropology and Geography
My scholarship is situated in feminist and abolitionist geography, focusing on food and environmental justice in the United States. Through scholar-activist/activist-scholar collaboration, I currently research the collective placemaking practices of Black women in Dubuque, Iowa as modes of resistance to the racialized and gendered political ecologies of food, land, and housing in the city. I am also Co-director of the Prison Agriculture Lab, which investigates prison labor in plant, animal, and food production in US prisons through the lens of racial capitalism and abolition geographies.
