I am an Assistant Professor of Politics and Law at Rhodes College. Previously, I was an American Studies Dissertation Fellow at The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, where I completed my Ph.D. My dissertation, “Addiction” in U.S. Political Culture, received the Stephen E. Bronner Dissertation Award from the American Political Science Association Caucus for Critical Political Science. My research interests include American politics and public policy from a feminist and critical race perspective.
