I am a recent PhD in Cultural Anthropology from UC Berkeley. My dissertation focuses on French police reform from 2003 to the present. Over the last several years, I teach intermittently at several Bay Area universities, including UC Berkeley and UC Davis. Starting August 2009, I will be Visiting Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Assumption College in Worcester, MA.
