His current research focuses on literacy, youth empowerment and civic engagement in the context of university/community partnerships. This work appears in his edited collection Youth Voices, Public Spaces, and Civic Engagement (Routledge Press, 2016), Language Arts, Urban Education, and The Urban Review.
