I am an interdisciplinary researcher, lecturer, and educator based in Brooklyn, New York, and an Assistant Professor of Race and Digital Media at Fordham University, based at the Lincoln Center campus. My research and teaching asks questions within the fields of social, cultural, and media theory; the politics of raciality and knowledge production; and the political economy of urban space. I am deeply invested in bringing de-/anticolonial black feminist philosophy, sound studies, and performance studies to bear on these matters. My first book project (in-progress), Syncopated Utopia: On Race, Place, and House Music, is based on media ethnography, oral histories, and archival research of dance floors and racialized dispossession in the neighborhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn in the 1970s, 1990s, and early 2000s. I’m a former ACLS Emerging Voices Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at Princeton University's Center for Digital Humanities; Critical Studies Fellow of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Studies Program; and inaugural resident of Shandaken: Governors Island. I hold a PhD in Media, Culture, and Communication from Steinhardt, NYU; an MA in Individualized Studies (Media, Design, and Social Movements) from Gallatin, NYU; and a BA in Sociology from Emory University. I’m also a graduate of Center for Third World Organizing’s Movement Activist Apprenticeship Program, and have spent time as an organizer on economic and housing justice issues in Atlanta, Georgia and Brooklyn, New York.
