I’m an associate professor at Texas A&M University. My work focuses on the relations between sound/hearing, law, modern statecraft, and technology.
My first book, Sound-Politics in São Paulo (Oxford University Press, 2019), provides a sociological and ethnographic approach to environmental noise in Latin America’s largest city.
My current book project, Hearing Like a State: Sound-Politics in Brazil (forthcoming, Vanderbilt University Press), builds on my first book, examining contemporary Brazil through various acoustic assemblages, including wiretaps, sirens, and gunshot geolocation systems.
