My research focuses on urban neighborhoods, culture, organizations, infrastructure, consumption, and qualitative methods. My first book, "Venice: A Contested Bohemia in Los Angeles," is a historical and ethnographic study of five adjacent neighborhoods and the changing tensions between diversity and exclusion. My book, "The Problem with Feeding Cities: The Social Transformation of Infrastructure, Abundance, and Inequality in America" was recently published.
