​I am an assistant professor of Sociology and affiliate in the Center for Brazil Studies at the University of Oklahoma. I study the relationship between race, class, and the environment in Brazil and the US. I received my PhD in Sociology and Community & Environmental Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2019-2020, I was a National Science Foundation SPRF fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and in 2015 I was a Fulbright Fellow in Brazil. My book The Business of Racism: Labor and Environment in Brazil's Racial Capitalism was published in 2026 with Duke University Press. I co-edited the book Environmental Sociology Now, which was published with the University of California Press. I have  published research in leading sociology and inter-disciplinary journals. Find my CV here.
