Part-time Faculty, Columbus State University

I am a human-cultural geographer and part-time faculty member at Columbus State University. My research examines the politics of memory in the USA and Brazil with special focus on the residues of slavery and settler colonialism as worked out through raising, taking down, and changing monuments and memorials to white supremacists, enslavers, torturers, war criminals, dictators, and other unsavory historical figures.
