Broadly, my research interests are physical infrastructure & materiality; diversity, equity, and inclusion; expressed organizational values; identification & belonging; space & non-linear time; and empathy. Some of my current work has been focused on defining empathy for the purposes of making it actionable in research as a metatheoretical framework and building a model for describing what empathy could look like in different types of research. For more deatils see Modeling Empathy and learn more about the current state of the model, plans for growing the model, and the latest comments schoalrs have shared with me about this model.

Check out my page on Methodologies, Data Management & Metatheoretical Approach(es) to learn more about the kind of work I’ve done, hope to do in the future, and the lens through which I view my role in research and field work.

In addition to doing research I have ever growing experience with teaching and art!
