I have published articles and book chapters on the knowledge production of social movements, the intersectional aspects of US empire, as well as race and US imperial culture. My first book, The Anticolonial Front: The African American Freedom Movement and Global Decolonization, 1945-1960, which was a finalist for the African American Intellectual History Society鈥檚 2018 Pauli Murray Prize, took up the topics of anticommunism, the continuities of colonialism, the intricacies of popular front politics, and the limitations of liberalism.

I am editor, with Kirrily Freeman, of Reading the Postwar Future: Textual Turning Points from 1944 and Reading the New Global Order: Textual Transformations of 1989, each of which range across history, literature, film, and political theory to consider a diverse array of texts that were produced in a pivotal year in world history.

As co-author, with Radhika Natarajan, of the Public Books Imperialism Syllabus, and as author of public-facing reflections on fascism, the cold war, infrastructure, and automobility, I am also interested in taking part in public discourse on issues of the day.
