PUBLICATIONS
My research ranges across topics and methods to understand questions of identity, inequity, and social change. My first major research project that produced Pushing Back and related publications opened up my interest in labor studies. Professor Denis Ferhatović and I also have an ongoing scholarly partnership with our first piece, "No, Just an Alien," published in 2021. Collaborative research and writing with colleagues and students are important to me as a means of creating dynamic, multivocal work.
Some of my publications are available via the Connecticut College Digital Commons. For a free PDF link to "Weighing the Value of Femininity" or "No, Just an Alien" please send me an email request.
