A proponent of social media as a platform for radical pedagogy, Jonathan is the founder of Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom, a digital humanities project that examines the intersections of fashion and slavery. He is also the co-founder of Rendering Revolution, which engages the Haitian Revolution and Haitian history more broadly through the lens of art, fashion, and visual culture. Most recently, he launched North Star, a fashion brand inspired by his research on Afro-Diasporic fashion.
