"How do we produce a vision that enables us to see beyond our immediate ordeals? How do we transcend bitterness and cynicism and embrace love, hope and an all-encompassing dream of freedom?”

​
Human geography challenges us to think about the relationship between people and place. My courses examine race as a central principle to how we make our society through where we live, where we work, and where we play.  In the US, this means grappling with segregation – not a short history of Jim Crow laws, but a set of practices and policies that are the spatialization of white supremacy in our daily lives. I hope that my classes can be a space where students move from abolition as a hashtag to a set of consensus-based community practices to address harms and keep each other safe.
