Ecologists on the Range: Bats, Biosecurity, and Texas' Other Sovereign Stories (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2023)
This resource is an application for a Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Texas is home to the world's largest bat colonies. Bat scientists in Texas play a growing role in mediating the concerns of shared space and blurred boundaries between species as climate change increasingly alters these arrangements. Texas is also a longstanding laboratory for American political forms and competing sovereignties; it is at the forefront of both climate conservatism and potential...
The Material Implications of Nested Black Sovereignties: The Case of North Brentwood (2025)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The United States was founded on a principle of Dual Sovereignty, State and Federal. State Governments then ceded some sovereign rights to counties and municipalities. These jurisdictions are made up of privately-owned properties and buildings that come with their own sets of rights. This results in a system of nested...
Mothers, Criminal Organizations, and the State Apparatus in the Landscape of Destruction amid Mexico’s War on Drugs (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2025)

My dissertation explores different registers of sovereignty amid Mexico’s war on drugs, explained as the nationwide deployment of the army to combat drug trafficking and annihilate drug lords, which to date has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. My research is focused on Guadalajara, the second largest city in the country, in which criminal groups assert their power to take life over the...

This paper explores colonial fortifications and landscapes as manifestations of shifting sovereignties in discontinuous frontiers. While a “typical” frontier exists outside the bounds of political control (i.e., external frontier), frontiers may also be encapsulated within an expanding system (i.e., internal frontier). As...
“They do my spraying for me”: Black Industrial Farmers, Digitized Landscapes, and Racialized Agrarian Decision-Making in Louisiana (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2023)
This resource is an application for a Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. “They do my spraying for me,” an elderly Black farmer gestured over his 140 soybean acres, explaining to me how his 6,000-acre white farmer neighbors—with their digital agriculture equipment—spray pesticides for him, a necessary input for this kind of farming. His is an anomaly in Louisiana sugarcane country—why soybeans, compared to lucrative sugarcane? Why farm alone—yet rely on a neighbor?...

In 2020, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) started planning for the state’s 76th state park focused on the late-eighteenth-century Shawnee town of Chillicothe on the Little Miami River. ODNR was committed to working collaboratively with the three Shawnee Nations to design the park and its interpretive content. Over the last two...
