Biography
I am an ethnographer, historian, and Cobb County native. My research focuses on public schooling and resegregation in metro Atlanta. As a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Tech, I teach classes that engage Atlanta’s cultural history and contemporary politics through service learning projects, ethnographic exercises, and built environment analysis. I’m particularly interested in pairing oral history assignments with digital tools that empower students as researchers and change-makers.
