University of Denver (DU), Denver, CO

Welcome to my website! I am a scholar who researches urban politics, planning, and development. I consider urban planning institutionally, as a negotiated and historically informed social relation. My research interests include urban and planning theory, local-government and planning law, public policy and planning implementation, and planning practice and urban governance in the related but distinct late-liberal contexts of South Africa and the United States.

 

I hold a  PhD in Urban Planning from Columbia University (see dissertation here). In 2023–2024, I was based in Cambridge, MA, where I am a Research Assistant with the Harvard University's Bloomberg Center for Cities and was a Visiting Democracy Fellow with Harvard University’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and a scholar-in-residence at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
