About
I am a PhD student in the
Department of Geography at
University of Colorado Boulder. I research primarily questions of sovereignty, territory, power/violence, nationalism, (im)mobilites, and placemaking. I am interested in understanding how certain populations are rendered powerless through state mechanisms, and in the ways in which the powerless navigate, counteract, and resist the dispossession of their bodies, land, and memory.
