Her research interrogates postcolonial state transformations through the lens of racial capitalism and social reproduction, particularly in Jamaica. She explores anti-squatting policies as land grabs, linking them to plantation legacies and abolition geographies. Her projects combine ethnography with critical theory to challenge dispossession narratives.
Recent publications analyze Jamaica’s land tenure struggles, with keywords spanning Caribbean studies, racial capitalism, and urban-rural interfaces. She has presented widely at conferences like the American Association of Geographers and contributed to interdisciplinary research clusters such as Placing Palestine.
