I am a critical human geographer, with research interests in three main areas: 1) interrogating the racist and sexist underpinnings of US empires through critical historical research; 2) documenting the constituative role that Black communities have played in shaping US cities;  and 3) exploring Black radical thought and feminist theory, methods and perspectives particularly in regard to space, nature, and place.   My most recent publications include Disturbing Development in the Jim Crow South (https://ugapress.org/book/9780820363424/disturbing-development-in-the-jim-crow-south/), and the Sage Handbook of Historical Geography (https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/the-sage-handbook-of-historical-geography/book251311)
