My research is centered broadly on labor, logistics, and Marxist geographies. Specifically, I am writing my master's thesis on labor action by the International Longshoremen's Association, the dock worker's union for the East Coast of the United States, in relation to the advent of global logistics and containerization throughout the middle of the 20th century. This study is based on archival research at NYU's Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives conducted in the Summer of 2025. Through this work, I am attempting to consider the specific role of dock worker strikes as a site of potential at a critical point in the circulation of commodity capital, the importance of anti-capitalist theorization of technology, as well as the limits and potentialities of traditional trade unionism in the contemporary period.
