About
Christien Tompkins is a cultural anthropologist and critical ethnographer concerned with how technocratic interventions into inequality reproduce racialized governance in the United States. His current research shows how experimental education reforms in Post-Katrina New Orleans have created new terrains for the development of racializing forms of expertise, design thinking, labor, and entrepreneurialism. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
