I am Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto. My research is situated in two, sometimes overlapping areas: 1) social control and conflict in urban neighborhoods and 2) individual experiences and responses in relation to discrimination. My recent research has appeared in the Urban Affairs Review, Social Problems, Ethnic and Racial Studies, and Sociology of Race and Ethnicity. My first book Us Versus Them: Race, Crime, and Gentrification in Chicago Neighborhoods (Oxford University Press 2020) examines conflict over crime and gentrification in the era of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
