Alongside my scholarly work, I often write and create in other creative mediums as a means of apprehending the very personal connection that researchers experience towards the research material in question, especially when researching concepts of identity, subjectivity, and affect. My fascination with autotheory and autoethnography is very prevalent in my works, providing the space necessary to engage in discussions about the felt and lived connections to knowledge.
As such, some of the work can be said to exist in the interstitial space between the critical and the creative, experimenting in form and voice to work within the blurred boundaries that exist between researcher and subject. The other works are simply the result of the joy I find in crafting fiction as a storyteller.
