Research Interests

My primary areas of expertise include arts based educational research, digital storytelling, community arts education, and visual research methodologies. My current scholarship explores ways of envisioning community as the space of knowledge production where artful social innovations and pedagogical relations can be re-imagined. I am a strong advocate of practice-led research and artful community engagement. As a teacher, my vision is that developing artist-teacher thinking processes through media arts stimulates students’ imaginations and provokes critical discourse and social action, thus fostering a commitment to inclusivity and diversity. I view my experiences as a teacher and researcher through a lens of creative inquiry and have a background in education and visual arts.
