About me
I am currently living in New Orleans and working on my dissertation, “The Racial Politics of Repopulating Post-Katrina New Orleans.” This project looks at how different racialized groups are encouraged or discouraged to move back to the storm damaged city and to reproduce. This includes a focus on how reproduction is tied to labor, with an understanding of how Hispanic migrant labor is (ab)used to rebuild the city without a commitment to a protection of rights. A major part of this project is looking at how a city’s local identity/consciousness is used to manipulate, define, and exclude a population.
