I am a fourth-year doctoral student studying individuals and organizations engaged in education and future-making practices toward post-capitalist, decolonial, and/or liberatory futures. My research is interdisciplinary drawing from a range of disciplines including environmental humanities, geography, Indigenous and decolonial studies, and sociology. Broadly, my interests include political imagination, power and knowledge production, education, decolonization, and futures/future-making practices. My past work at Rutgers focused on Christian nationalism and evangelical media, including a mixed-methods study using computational methods, social network analysis, and qualitative content analysis to map political discourse in an evangelical magazine.
In 2023, I earned a Sociology M.A. at the University of Central Florida where I conducted ethnographic research on White evangelicalism, womanhood, and Christian nationalism using a Critical Race Theory and intersectional lens.
Being dedicated to public scholarship, I previously co-created a sociology podcast at UCF named Free the Mind, Free the People and was also a guest on the Extinction Rebellion Radio podcast. My work continues to be motivated by a commitment to liberatory education and political imagination within and beyond academia.
