As a cultural geographer, I conduct research on everyday forms of policing, crime, and neighborhood change (gentrification, redevelopment, ethnic in-migration, etc.) and am the author of Going All City: Struggle and Survival in LA's Graffiti Subculture published by University of Chicago Press in 2019.
I am associate professor in the School of Geography, Development & Environment and the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory at the University of Arizona. I live in Tucson, Arizona and Los Angeles, California.
My work on gangs, graffiti, policing, and gentrification has appeared in scholarly monographs as well as in peer-reviewed journals including: Critical Criminology, Progress in Human Geography, Environment and Planning (Society and Space), Geographical Review, Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Radical History Review, and Cultural Geographies.
