Areas of Professional Interest

  • Anthropology of Education
  • Youth Cultural Studies
  • Neo-Liberalism
  • Globalization
  • Hip-Hop Studies
  • African American Literacies
  • Public and Counter-Public Pedagogy
  • Ethnographic Theory
  • Queer Theory

My work focuses on the intersections between globalization, popular culture, public/counter-public pedagogy, and youth identities. I am interested in locating various sites of possibility for identity work, resistance, and knowledge production within and outside of formal schooling contexts. Particular areas of inquiry include hip-hop culture, street fiction, and African American bookstores. My other research examines the responses of urban youth to the conditions of neo-liberalism, particularly privatization, zero-tolerance policies, ghetto surveillance, and domestic militarization.
