Big News:
I'm now Chair of the Interdisciplinary, Gender, and Ethnic Studies Department at UNLV
Looking forward to working with everyone in this new capacity, and anxious to see if the Netflix series "Chair" was at all accurate, lol.
Be kind to me during this learning curve.

My co-author and I published a short article "Canines: Enforcing Race & State," examining the transnational origins of the American K-9 unit.
It's open access, so ANYONE can download it for free. So, spread the word! Any and all support is welcome.
