My next research project focuses on racial and spatial politics in South Florida. I am, among other things, exploring Zora Neale Hurston’s understudied experiences in South Florida during the winter and spring of 1950.
One running thread throughout all of my work is my deep interest how human beings encounter one another. My other professional interests include film and art.
