STEPHEN C JONES
I am a writer, researcher, artist, and educator, and a doctoral candidate in Geography at the Graduate Center.
Drawing from archival, visual, ethnographic, and other qualitative methods, I investigate a wide range of topics concerning policing and imprisonment, warfare and counter-insurgency, labor and social movements, and uneven geographical development across rural and urban geographies.
