I specialize in philosophy of education, feminist disability studies, and inclusive education. I came to this work after witnessing ableism鈥攁nd resistance to ableism鈥攚ithin residential and employment programming serving individuals labelled with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 

I'm especially interested in what disability studies scholars have called "able-mindedness," and how able-mindedness informs epistemic practices鈥攑ractices that have to do with knowledge acquisition and knowledge generation. You can learn a bit more through this .

In other work I look at the intersections of dis/ability, race, and gender in education, inclusive pedagogies, and frameworks of institutional accessibility in higher education. To learn more about this work, check out my co-authored piece in Spark Magazine on .

I teach courses in educational foundations, inclusive education/critical special education, and feminist and critical disability studies.
