Racing Property:
Racially Restrictive Covenants as a Story of Social and Legal Norms
I am hoping to complete a book manuscript (with Richard Brooks) on racially restrictive covenants - their history and what they tell us about the relationships between social and legal norms.
I am also expecting to be continuing some work at the intersection of property rights, environmental law and development.
