eco-social researcher ǀ writer educator ǀ editor ǀ relational practitioner

I am a queer eco-social researcher, writer, poet, educator, editor and relational practitioner. I study how binary, hierarchical and extractivist ways of knowing and being shape our minds, bodies and relationships and what it takes to undo these injuries of colonization. As a researcher, I study how humans of modernity become separated from our being, each other, our nonhuman relations and metabolic life itself, and how we care for collective health in this critical condition. As an educator, I work with ontological pedagogies that touch the normalized ways we sense, make sense, communicate, bear bodies, organize living and dying together, grieve, love and go on. As a writer, I apprentice with spiritual-political artistries of language that constellate realities pried apart, provide portals to queer existence, stimulate the senses to widen and synthesize, and try to transmute dehydrated meaning into more erotic flow. As a relational practitioner, I see de-institutionalizing (re-rooting and re-routing) desire, multiplying intimacies and fortifying human and more-than-human relational ecologies as essential for liveable futures and as art-life practices of cosmological care.
