His dissertation focused on housing inequalities for LGBT people in the Los Angeles area in the late 1960s to mid-1990s. Oral histories were performed with Bob Gentry, Christine Browning, Patricia Walsh, Lissa Forehan, Leigh Richards, and Napolean Lustre. All of the subjects were part of student or academic leadership at UCI during the Shantytown sit-in protests in 1990.
