My research involves studying race, class, and social change in urban neighborhoods. I am particularly interested in how cities use arts and culture-based strategies to renew blighted areas. My ethnographic studies of neighborhoods in Scranton and Baltimore have been published in journals such as Sociological Forum, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, and Journal of Urban Affairs.
