SPACE & PLACE

I’m Nicole. I’m a cultural geographer and political theorist. I study stories and the worlds they build.

I think about how race, place, and power are organized through the stories we tell and the worlds those stories help build. For me, the stories we tell about ourselves are maps: they locate us, draw boundaries, and shape what we come to know as true. I focus on the United States and the Americas, tracing how anti-Blackness operates across space, place, culture, institutions, and technology.
