- Research interests
-
With a background in qualitative sociological inquiry I have research interests in:
- Lived and imagined time: temporalities and temporal orderings, imagined and alternative futures, the chronopolitics of everyday life
- Community and grassroots organising: care as organising strategy, abolition feminism, queer and feminist modes of worldbuilding
- Methods: creative, collective, participatory, queer and scholar activist methods
