Sociologist (in training) at Washington University in St. Louis. I use computational, survey, & experimental methods to study race, policing, surveillance, & social movements.
I’m incredibly excited for my first-ever ASA this August! The excitement is also two-fold: I have 2 presentations lined up. One is solo-authored (neighborhood perceptions using 2 survey experiments). The other is co-authored w/ @ktandrews.bsky.social (U.S. college protests).

Despite policies that face recognition will just be a "jumping off point" and not evidence leading directly to arrest--people very easily proven innocent continue to be arrested and jailed after being misidentified by computers.

More than 900 prison firefighters were responding to the crisis in Los Angeles — but their pay is low and the ethics of their choice are complicated.

Because if not, you will one day find yourself answering why you increased the police budget by $126M while cutting the Fire budget by$17.6M. It’s all about trade offs and weighing risks… and the economist (and backers) will be long gone when the fire storm hits. theintercept.com/2025/01/08/l...
LA Budgeted Money For Cop Jobs While Cutting Fire Department Positions. Now the City Is Burning.
“Defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences,” according to a local activist.

Massachusetts last year made phone calls from prison and jails free.
It also wiped charges for other forms of communication between incarcerated folks & their loved ones.
