I maintain an interest in researching and teaching about diverse topics, especially war, human rights, political violence, and social protests for racial, Indigenous, economic, and environmental justice, in the US, and abroad.

My published research has covered a wide range of interdisciplinary issues, including political-economy, ideology and social movements in America, critical political theory, and the world-scale drivers of political violence and (under)development in Africa. As a transdisciplinary scholar, my ongoing research explores ways to place sociology in dialoge with other intellectual terrains, such as development studies, critical university studies, psychoanalysis, Africana studies, dialectical philosophy, and more.
