Alongside my academic research, I write and design creatively as a way of exploring the often deeply personal relationship scholars have with their subject matter – particularly when exploring questions of identity, subjectivity, and affect. My interest in autotheory and autoethnography informs much of this work, offering space to reflect on how knowledge is felt, lived, and entangled with experience.
As such, some of this practice sits at the intersection of the critical and the creative, experimenting with form and voice to navigate the blurred boundaries between researcher and subject. Other pieces simply reflect my love of storytelling and the pleasure I take in writing fiction.
