Research
My dissertation research is situated on former sites of prison labor in Atlanta, GA that are undergoing processes of abandonment and development. I trace the convergence of the ecological processes of urban forestation and the political processes of bondage, labor, and freedom. I study how the liminal ecology of abandoned land reshapes the late capitalist imagination and practices of subjectivity, valuation, and desire. Observational filmmaking and photography are central to my ethnographic practice.
