I am a doctoral student at The New School for Social Research (NSSR) in New York and an adjunct at Fordham University. In both my research and teaching, I focus on American law and politics, with an emphasis on normative, theoretical, and critical approaches to understanding each. Substantively, this work focused on federalism and the separation of powers; municipal law and urban political movements, including cycles of racial resentment/backlash; and extensive critical attention to free speech under the First Amendment. I have been published in Constitutional Law Quarterly, Hastings Women’s Law Journal, and Hastings Race & Poverty Law Journal, as well as cited or excerpted in a recent edition of a casebook and an opinion from the Supreme Court of Connecticut, among others.
My other writing has included book reviews in literary and academic outlets, legal news and analysis for Instinct magazine and the Culture Crush, and a long-running blog series on the intersections of law, politics, and the crises facing news media outlets in the 21st century.
I live and work in New York City.
