Research Interest
My research interests include community based organizations and community development, democracy and participation, and cooperative organizations. I have a secondary research interest in the arts and urban planning, including community arts and social change. My dissertation project is a case study of two consumer food cooperatives in Philadelphia experiencing organizational growth and change as the politics of food and community shift. I have worked with numerous community organizations in Philadelphia including Headlong Dance Theater, Kol Tzedek Synagogue and the West Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.
