My research focuses on conceptualizations and practices of responsibility, and their impact on the dynamic between historical events and contemporary modes of justice. I work at the interface of law, geography, ethics, and mobility, particularly within processes of repair, including compensation and repatriation. At Auburn, I teach Human Geography, Global Geography, and Geography of Africa.
