Research
My scholarship explores the way cultural discourses and institutions create, reproduce, and challenge boundaries in society along the lines of race, ethnicity, and country of origin. I have previously focused on the discourses surrounding privatized immigration detention specifically, but am currently working on understanding companies associated with the corrections industry more broadly.
