My ongoing project in Baltimore, MD, investigates how the urban residents define neighborhood boundaries, based on ethnographic observations and interviews. The project aims to contextualize the definition of "neighborhood," as the term is used too often without critical examination of who, what, or where is part of a neighborhood. My new project is a study of urban farming and neighborhood recovery in New Orleans. The project explores the role of the emerging popularity of urban farming in the city in the Post-Katrina (re)building efforts.
