My mission
#This site is a living notebook for my own work. I write to make scholarship legible beyond the academy, and I treat lived experience, local archives, and community knowledge as places where theory is made. I try to move carefully: name people, cite sources, and give cultural context so the work is traceable.
I’m interested in how culture travels—through sound, bodies, and memory—and how everyday practices become repositories of history and meaning. When I publish here, I’m inviting you into that process.
What you’ll find
#- Essays that build an argument with clear stakes.
- Interviews that foreground the voice of artists, scholars, and organizers.
- Reviews of films, books, and exhibitions that matter to my research.
- Visual notes and photo essays when images are doing the thinking.
- Field notes—short dispatches from archives, events, and trips.
How I work
#- Names, dates, and quotations are checked; sources are linked or described.
- For interviews, I confirm pronouns and on/off-the-record status.
- For images, I list credits/permissions and avoid publishing material that could cause harm.
- I explain key terms and keep the prose readable without losing rigor.
