Research Overview I write and teach about how urban poverty is organized, and about how urban communities -- and in particular queer/trans BIWOC (Black, Indigenous, Women of Colour) -- can reclaim urban spaces from processes such as gentrification and police surveillance. I have years of experience in community organizing with queer/trans communities and sex workers. I am interested in community defence involving organizing harm reduction, food sovereignty, health care access, and education for communities that are marginalized and targeted for state violence.
