DOCTORAL INQUIRY · IN DEVELOPMENT
Research from the ruins.
Arts-based critical autoethnography investigating art as resistance and witness to modernity’s unraveling, informed by posthuman feminist and ecological perspectives.
Thinking with the work.
Arts-based critical autoethnography
The artist’s embodied experience, material decisions, and contradictions become sites of inquiry, rather than neutral observations from outside the system.
Posthuman feminist thought
A challenge to human exceptionalism and the hierarchies that place humans above other lives and forms of agency.
Terrapsychology and place
Listening to land and ecological relationships without reducing them to symbols or resources for human interpretation.
Material refusal
Using found, discarded, biodegradable, weathered, and more-than-human-altered materials to question the politics of production.
This is a developing doctoral direction, not a completed dissertation or fixed theoretical conclusion.
