About
I'm interested in the intersections of capitalism, culture, gender, sexuality, and history. I'm currently writing my art-based thesis on intimate partner violence within LGBTQI+ communities, where I'm exploring how broader representations and mainstream narratives of "victim" vs. "perpetrator" are constructed, what these narratives leave out, and how they can shape the experiences and understandings of queer survivors of violence.
Research Interests
Intimate partner violence (IPV) in LGBTQI+/queer communities.
