I am a hybrid cultural anthropologist / geographer who is building awareness of inclusive and regenerative tourism and placemaking in cities, with strategies focused on benefitting (versus exploiting) local communities (and the environment). I have a particular interest in addressing the enduring legacies of colonialism and imperialism.  As an aside, I've also conducted in-depth research on  Miami, Florida's Little Havana neighborhood, where I still offer (private) walking tours with a critical lens ...
