I am an interdisciplinary researcher and lecturer based in Brooklyn, New York, and currently an Assistant Professor of Race and Digital Media at Fordham University, Lincoln Center. My research investigates media ecologies of cultural production, and connects these inquiries to matters of race and public space. My first book project is based on media ethnography and oral histories of house music and gentrification in Fort Greene, Brooklyn in the 1990s into the 2000s . I’m a former ACLS Emerging Voices Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at Princeton University's Center for Digital Humanities; was a Critical Studies Fellow of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Studies Program, 2017-2018; and was an inaugural resident of Shandaken: Governors Island in 2018. 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. Prior to pursuing my graduate studies, I spent time as an organizer on economic and housing justice issues in Atlanta, Georgia and Brooklyn, New York, and did a short stint at a corporate digital media agency.
