Interests: 20th century U.S. social and political history; Black and Latinx history; race, inequality, and civil rights; urban/suburban history; Long Island history

My research explores the arrival and growth of Long Island’s Latino population across the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the ways in which Latinos asserted their right to live in a suburban environment marked by persistent segregation, rising inequality, and growing hostility to immigration.
