I am especially keen to understand how the politics of actuarial risk assessment play into the spatial and scalar formation of carceral labor regimes. As such there is a duality to my work that I try to balance, which includes nature-society-oriented investigations of the National Flood Insurance Program and the unfree labor of incarcerated wildland firefighters in the Pacific Northwest. On the other hand, I take great critical interest in U.S. federal, state, and local carceral policy— including officer liability, electronic monitoring, and police union administration, member protections, and collective bargaining.
