Bio, Briefly I am an an anthropologist trained at City University of New York - Graduate Center. I've taught at CUNY’s Brooklyn College, Baruch College and School of Professional Studies as well as American University and Davidson College. From 2017-2020 I was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, where I returned as a Research Scientist in the Department of Geography in late 2021. I am currently working on three grants on: policy drivers of unlicensed cultivation (PI); cannabis cultivation and Hmong community dynamics; and the financialization of cannabis markets. My core interests revolve around illegal and informal economies and their relation to capitalist accumulation and the management of inequality. I’ve published widely in anthropology, geography, history, planning, agriculture and environmental studies, as well as popular press pieces. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Wenner Gren Foundation, Horowitz Foundation, Resource Legacy Fund, and the State of California among others I teach theory, methods, and introduction to anthropology, as well as public anthropology, ethnography, sex/gender, commodities, and crime/criminalization.
