About Me

I am a Sociologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. My research focuses on racism, voice, and the cultural industries.

My forthcoming book, Listeners Like Who? Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry, examines how public radio was formed as a white racialized institution; through in-depth qualitative interviews, Listeners Like Who? shows the complex cultural work that public radio professionals of color have done to expand who the network is for.
