Research
Current research efforts include examining how social stereotypes and/or labeling impact individuals, communities, and law enforcement practices, sustainability and resilience within the context of traditional native practices, racialized patterns of police violence, and community oversight of the police. Past research includes vagrancy and the homeless, examining charity services by formerly incarcerated homeless individuals through a neoliberalism lens, and women of color and recidivism. The primary area of interest is in race, crime, and justice with an emphasis on inequality, racial justice, and social movements.
