Space, power, language and (im)mobility in Haiti and the Caribbean
I study how Haitian society makes itself and decides who counts through the places people live, the powers that rule them, the languages and knowledge they hold, and how they move, or stay, to get by.
Lines of inquiry
ResearchSpace, the city and the environment
How Port-au-Prince is built, regulated and lived in, from building codes to gang control.
Society, power and the state
The state, constitutions and sovereignty; a configurational theory of power.
Language, knowledge and education
Kreyòl and French, the school, the university, and whose knowledge counts.
Globalization, (im)mobility and livelihood
Why Haitians leave or stay, and how they get by.
