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 examines questions at the intersection of race, media, and culture. I am interested in theories of mediation and the social; the politics of knowledge production; and in bringing anticolonial black feminist philosophy, sound studies, and performance studies to bear on these matters. My first book project, Syncopated Utopias: On Race, Place, and House Music, is based on media ethnography and oral histories of house music and racialized gentrification in Fort Greene, Brooklyn in the 1990s through the early 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.
