I am an interdisciplinary researcher and doctoral candidate interested in how race and culture shape the ways people use social media. My scholarship focuses on how race is produced, reified, and disrupted in digital contexts with the goals of eradicating various forms of inequality and their racial justifications, and cultivating healthy relationships across social fractures. It is informed by 15 years of inter-/intragroup dialogic facilitation practice focused on people’s experiences with race, racism, and whiteness. My research can be found in the Journal of Research on Adolescence, Social Science Computer Review, Advances in Social Work, and elsewhere.

I currently live in Cambridge, Massachusetts with my wife, Kemy, and our Italian Greyhound, Karl Marx.
