I am an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, teaching courses in political economy, principles of economics, and economics and gender. I earned my PhD in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, studying political economy, economic history, and heterodox economics. I am also involved with the Center for Popular Economics.
Research Interests: (Critical) Political Economy, Carceral Systems and Capitalism, Political Economy of Schooling
I am currently working on projects on critical perspectives on care work, social reproduction, and carceral systems, as well as research on guard labor in U.S. local labor markets (with Luke Petach, Belmont University).
