I completed my Ph.D. in American Studies at New York University’s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. As a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow with the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies and the Department of History at UCLA, I am working to complete my book manuscript. Dirty Capital: Vice Police, Nuisance Property, and the Long War on Drugs in Philadelphia will trace the history of vice policing in Black Philadelphia from Prohibition to the contemporary War on Drugs, drawing from interdisciplinary urban studies scholarship, critical prison studies, and socio-legal perspectives on policing and punishment.
