| Primary Scholarly Interests |
My teaching and research focus on economic, social, and political power, conflict, and change in the US urban context. My most sustained research has been on the post-war Black movement in the US North; 1980s-1990s AIDS street activism; and urban gentrification from the 1990s to the present. I am just now turning to analyze LGBTQ activism, exploring how urban political economies have shaped, and been shaped by, that activism, and writing a narrative of LGBTQ political development that emphasizes this movement’s essentially local nature, despite the heightened media visibility of national organizations and citizenship claims in recent years.
