Research Interests
Presently, my research is centered around healing-centered organizational cultures, shared trauma, historical trauma, radical healing, and radical imagination.
Teaching Interests
I am a social work scholar and professor that is deeply committed to embodied learning. I prioritize liberation, radical imagination and healing in my teaching, scholarship, and activism. I use this focus to amplify the voices of communities that have been marginalized and left on the fringes of research, public policy, and global conversation.
