There are two major components of my work these days. First, as an extension of my dissertation work, I am working on a book about amateur media technologies in urban spaces. This project extends from 1893 to 1945, but I see it as a kind of pre-history to the ubiqutious technological alteration of today's urban bodies. And second, I am interested in digital spectatorship. Specifically, I'm interested in how personal ordering and mapping have become central to cultural consumption in digital culture. A chapter from my book-in-progress, entitled "Toward a Networked Urbanism: Hugh Ferriss, Rockefeller Center, and the 'Invisible Empire of the Air'" was recently published in the journal Space and Culture.

This work compliments my interest in geographically-based communities and the ways in which networking technologies have altered their form and function. As an example of this work, see my essay "Fortifying Community: African American History and Culture in Leimert Park" in the volume Sons and Daughters of Los from Temple University Press.
