Welcome.
I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Memphis.
My dissertation, completed in May 2018 at the University of Arizona, contributes to two major fields: the anthropology of prison and the anthropology of masculinity. I conducted 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork with prisoners who fight wildfires, examining the meanings of skilled labor for incarcerated men. I utilized a mixed-methods approach, with photography being a central component to my ethnographic technique. I have designed and implemented two individual research projects and worked for four years with the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology. I have taught several courses, like a 160-person introductory course on race and the American dream, and a 20 person undergraduate/graduate seminar on gender and social identity. You will find more detailed information about my academic work, community engagements, and personal ethos throughout the website.
