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

I am a queer eco-social researcher, educator, writer, 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 learn to heal. As a teacher, I work with ontological pedagogies that touch the normalized ways we sense, make sense, communicate, bear bodies, organize living together, and grieve and desire and love. As a writer, I apprentice with spiritual-political artistries of language that constellate realities pried apart, provide portals to queer nature, stimulate the senses to synthesize, and transmute dehydrated meaning into life’s erotic flow. As a relational practitioner, I see de-institutionalizing (re-rooting and re-routing) desire, expanding intimacies and fortifying more-than-human relational ecologies as essential for liveable futures and as art-life practices of cosmological care.
