I teach
political science at the Borough
of Manhattan Community College (BMCC)
of the City University of New York (CUNY) where I am also
active in the Professional
Staff Congress (PSC), the union of faculty and staff.
My research centers on political participation, elections
and voting, race and ethnicity, immigration, and social movements.
Formerly
a social worker, I have worked in government as the Coordinator
of the New York City Voter Assistance Commission, and have
been an expert witness in several court cases, including NAACP
v. Harris (the 2000 election), in Rodriguez v. Pataki (a redistricting
case in New York), and in Green Party v. The New York State
Board of Elections (ballot access case). I have also consulted
to several public policy organizations, including Demos,
The
Aspen Institute Roundtable on Community Change, The
Brennan Center, and
The Century Foundation.
I
am co-founder of The
Immigrant Voting Project; a member of the Editorial Board of
Socialism
and Democracy; and a member of the Board of Directors of
The Brecht
Forum. I remain active in democracy reform and social justice
efforts, particularly in New York. I have appeared on television
and radio, including MSNBC, Good Day New York, Regional News Network,
CUNY-TV, NPR, and WBAI, and in national and local newspapers.
