I teach and research in the areas of Criminal Law and Procedure, American Indian Law, and Comparative Criminal Law and Procedure. My scholarship focuses on the distribution, exercise, and regulation of criminal investigative and adjudicative power in federal systems and on interdisciplinary criminal justice reform. Areas of inquiry include: (1) allocation of criminal jurisdiction among federal, Tribal, State, and local governments; (2) comparative federal, Tribal, State, and international criminal law and procedure; (3) disproportionate representation of Indigenous persons, especially women and girls, in settler-colonial criminal justice systems; and (4) incorporating the experiences and needs of rural and Indigenous communities in criminal justice reform.
