A Black Meeple
Welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a sociologist, board game enthusiast, and lifelong nerd. This site is where I bring those worlds together, sharing thoughts on my research, reflections on race, gender, and representation in nerd spaces, and the joy that comes with it.
Whether you’re here to learn more about my dissertation, find resources for grad school, or geek out about board games and fandoms, you’re in the right place.
Pull up a chair and stay a while.
