Assistant Professor of Geography

I am a feminist, urban geographer. Most broadly, I study the political economy and cultural politics of urban transformation with particular interest in the politics of displacement (both historic and contemporary) in Southeast Asian cities. My current reserach is based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and examines claims to space and power between 1979- 2017. My scholarship and my teaching are influenced by transnational feminist, post-colonial, and global urban studies.
