Delighted that my book, THE CULTURE TRAP, has been published by Oxford University Press! This ethnography centers and celebrates Black youth in London and NYC schools, and shows that the use of culture to explain Black students' success or failure in schools is not only tricky; it is a trap!

Enjoyed chairing the The Black Policy Institute discussion on Economics. Two brilliant and dynamic speakers Miatta Fahnbulleh and Jasmine Martins gave us plenty of food for thought. The questions from the audience were thoughtful and inquisitive. This was a much needed conversation. #TBPIEvent
