RESEARCH TOPICS

My main research area is critical artistic research.
I use academic research as a way to attend to what is conceptual—which allows us to speculate, extrapolate, interpret—and what is concrete—where we can implement, iterate, and practice. I’m an independent scholar which means I have a doctoral degree (2021) from Monash University (Melbourne) and continue to do academic research, writing, and publishing without affiliation or salary from an institution. Below are the areas of inquiry I am a part of and contribute to.  

  • Practice-led research
  • Black critical thought
  • Material practice
  • Interiority
  • Knowledge production
  • Critical autoethnography
  • Critical citation practice
  • Creative contexts to investigate how artists and designers engage with contemporary socio-political conditions
  • Developing methodologies and reflexive methods to explore relationships between knowing and making
  • Critical theories, studies, and practices
