She has focused geographically on Cuba and the Anglophone Caribbean, both of which are places where she has conducted extensive ethnographic research.

She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago, and a J.D. from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. She has also practiced as a litigator in San Francisco.
