Doctoral Student

Anthony is a doctoral student in the Department of Sociology. His research interests span carceral geographies, previously incarcerated reentry support, critical environmental sociology, and critical criminology. His research focuses on the development of interdisciplinary conceptual frameworks that bring together critical environmental studies and critical criminology to understand how carceral geographies disrupt ways of being.

Anthony was recently awarded the 2023 Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowship for the development of a new conceptual framework to understand the toxics of carceral geographies–prison sinks. He holds an M.A. in Sociology from Rutgers University (2023), and a B.A. in Sociology, with a minor in Ethnic Studies from the University of California, Berkeley (2018) where he was also a Ronald E. McNair Scholar.

His dissertation explores how carceral geographies shape space, expose the bodies within them to toxics and the effects of global climate change, and ultimately disrupt the relationship between humans and nature. He offers undergraduate courses in social theory, criminology, and intro to sociology.
