Biography

I study U.S. urban history and the history of education. I am particularly interested in researching how urban universities expanded after WWII, displacing working-class communities of color and contributing to racial and economic stratification in cities. I completed my B.A. in Australia, where I wrote my Honours thesis on the University of Sydney’s destruction of a small, inner-city neighbourhood called Darlington during its post-war expansion.
