Research Interests:

Urban, Race and Racialization, Inequality, Housing, Labor, Urban Nature

Potential Graduate Students:

I am interested in talking with potential graduate students. I have a long track record of successfully advising graduate students at the master's and doctoral levels. I work with a broad range of students who utilize many different approaches to research. About half of my students have used qualitative research approaches, and about half have used quantitative / statistical approaches. All of the students I work with are well trained and meaningfully engage with socially impactful topics grounded in theory. Substantively, I am happy to talk with potential students who seek to produce high-quality research on topics broadly related to my research interests. In particular, my recent work has broadly considered issues related to urban nature, and I would like to work with motivated students with similar interests.
