His work has been featured in the Journal for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, World Development, and Chantiers (Haiti). This research examines the aid industry as a market for projects and theorizes the ways in which recipients of aid contribute valuable and uncompensated labor to the production successful projects. His current work establishes a line of inquiry around aid projects and the regimes of labor that support them. Freeman is interested in understanding reciprocal agricultural labor practices as forms of counter plantation practice. In Haiti, his research has covered the vetiver essential oil industry and soil conservation.
In the Dominican Republic, he has conducted research on the relationship between NGOs and coffee cooperatives. He is currently concerned with the bureaucracies of international aid projects, and how bureaucratic and financial procedures in international aid undermine conservation interventions. He conducts ethnographic research with agriculturalists and NGO workers in both countries.
