citizenship and non-citizenship
urban politics of detention

I study immigration detention in urban contexts in the US and Spain. I am broadly interested in the spatial ramifications of the confluence of the securitization of migration and especially the deployment of migrant detention; precarious and unfree migrant labor; and discourses of nationalism, racial hierarchy, and exclusion. I am particularly interested in three major tensions within this field:

1) between the freedom to move and state sovereignty and territoriality.

2) between the production/protection of state sovereignty and the production of a pool of cheap migrant labor

3) between liberal socio-legal frameworks and discourses of racial hierarchy and exclusion

My scholarly work explores how these tensions manifest in, shape, and are re-produced spatially in systems of migration detention and incarceration. This research is under-girded by an interest in how systems of migration enforcement and management are actively contested and re-shaped by an array of non-state actors including migrants and people in detention.

Call for Students

I invite applications from masters and doctoral students interested in research that intersects planning/geography with disability studies and/or childhood studies. In particular, I welcome applications from those interested in the following four areas:

Education Access – e.g., studies concerning school travel planning, student transport service design, and school site design.
Inclusive Play – e.g., studies concerning inclusive playground designs and experiences, park space planning, and child/youth engagement in planning.
Transport Planning and Design – e.g., studies focused on understanding and/or improving how people with disabilities experience access and inclusion during air travel, public transit, pedestrian travel, or medical trips.
Institutional Ableism – e.g., studies that inquire into institutional values, practices and processes with a view to identifying and addressing any inherent ableism.
