I am a theatre artist and interdisciplinary scholar specializing in performance studies and feminist care theory. Most generally, my research investigates discourses of care at the sites of gender, communication, and performance. How do we make social change through communicative practice? Can these interventions be situated in practices of care? I use methods such as practice research, interviewing, focus groups, dramatic criticism, and archiving.
