Research Interests
My research interests center on boundary-pushing scholarship that challenges us to reimagine what is possible methodologically, pedagogically, and conceptually. I am drawn to work that stretches the contours of the field—scholarship that is intellectually daring, creatively rigorous, and unafraid to unsettle taken-for-granted assumptions. A core commitment of my work is amplifying narratives that have too often gone unheard, particularly those emerging from marginalized positionalities, and holding space for these perspectives to reshape our conversations and priorities. I am especially devoted to mentoring and supporting graduate students, encouraging them to push their own boundaries while also expanding those of the field. Ultimately, I believe scholarship should be edgy and transformative: it should provoke us to think differently, imagine expansively, and inhabit new ways of being. It should not simply inform us—it should change us.
