My current research is focused on anti-structural and anti-rational approaches to art and education, focusing on avant-garde art and radical political movements, as well as ritual and folkloric approaches to challenging rigidity and environmental insensitivity within academia.

 

This research stems from my desire to find a place, as someone who identifies as neurodivergent, where receptiveness to the effects of social design isn't regarded as a medical condition in need of treatment or accommodation, but instead as something for everyone to cultivate and respond to creatively. I believe transdisciplinary art and education are the most direct and powerful means to transform human social and ecological relationships to challenge increasing dependence on industrial technology, the global economy, rising political extremism, and climate terrorism.
