I’m interested in the ways that culture, politics, ethics, and aesthetics intersect, so in all of my classes, we analyze texts within complex social formations and specific historical contexts. Recently, I’ve taught courses in cultural studies, border narratives, global film, the literature of racial capitalism, and the representation of race in contemporary US film. I’ve also written on many of these topics, as well as on contemporary postcolonial cultures and their connections to emerging forms of citizenship and changes in neoliberal economic structures.

My latest book, Border Rule: An Abolitionist Refusal (2023, Palgrave Macmillan) examines both border policies and oppositional narratives of “the border” from 2011 through 2021, demonstrating that the term designates not merely a line of territorial control but also a set of social relations shaped by persistent, racially differentiated colonial structures and, more recently, by neoliberal modes of accumulation.
