I am currently a doctoral candidate in the Johns Hopkins University History Department, having obtained my bachelors at New York University. I am primarily concerned with how inequality was inscribed into metropolitan landscapes throughout the twentieth century. To this end, my research explores how the ideas of suburbs emerged, evolved, and narrowed over time in the United States. Centering my doctoral dissertation on a Baltimore developer and its professional networks, I interrogate how their success at building suburbs was predicated on their ability to use capital, exploit local fears, and circulate their methods for drawing social and aesthetic boundaries around their creations. I am fascinated by the possibilities for interdisciplinary study and see my work as an attempt to bridge historical sub-fields and different academic disciplines.
