Curriculum | Pedagogy | Activism | Spirituality | Leadership | Design

My scholarly interests center on the study of ecological methods of pedagogy which understand the mind as inseparable from the body, the relational networks, the cultural artifacts, and the environment of the subject.

I aim to apply these theories to the essential work of education in locations which resist the alienation and oppression
of our present neoliberal hegemony: worker's cooperatives, community development sites, organizing/activism/protest movements, religious spaces and faith groups, alternative housing and education, pop culture and folklore, festivals and folkways, and beyond.

I also believe that institutions carry tremendous educative responsibilities, and I am thus committed to  applying systemic critique and organizational principles to help institutions to be human and just.
