I research, write and teach as an Assistant Professor in the Sociology and Anthropology department at Howard University. My work focuses on social movements, environmental justice, agriculture, toxics and climate change. I also run Voices from the Valley, a website featuring environmental justice advocacy in California's San Joaquin Valley.
