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

Stories, for me, are maps. They shape how we understand ourselves, each other, and the world around us. I am interested in what these stories tell us, what they leave out, and the structures of power they help sustain. My research focuses on the United States and the Americas, tracing how anti-Blackness moves across space and time through culture, institutions, and technology.
