Dr. Daniel Ferman-Leon is a socio-cultural anthropologist and Afro-Indigenous ethnographer whose research is broadly concerned with racial capitalism, anti-Blackness, colonial conquest, and white supremacy. His research explores how market-making and race-making are mutually constituted and the role of financial tools and financial accumulation in this process. His current book project, The Financialization of Racialized Geographies: Rental Housing, Exclusion, and Displacement in Kansas City, Missouri interrogates how financial accumulation from property ownership and speculation is both premised on and extends anti-Black residential segregation, white supremacy, carceral immobility, and dispossession. He holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in Sociocultural Anthropology from Cornell University.
