My interdisciplinary research focuses on social justice and social movements, urban political economy, nature, environmental justice, race and ethnicity, labor, science and technology studies, Los Angeles, and the U.S./Mexico border.

My first book, Inland Shift: Race, Space, and Capital in Inland Southern California is now available from UC Press. The book uses logistics and commodity chains to unpack the black box of globalization by showing how the scientific management of bodies, space, and time produced new racialized labor regimes that facilitated a more complex and extended system of global production, distribution, and consumption.
