Public Humanities

Reproductive Justice Mini Golf (2023) Installation View

The various projects featured here—creating a mini golf course, curating art installations, using innovative pedagogical strategies that focus on translation, and producing a film and play—speak to my deep belief in the value of translating research into alternative mediums and for audiences beyond the academy.

At the same time, my approach to the public humanities, and to circulating academic knowledge, departs from traditional ways of conceptualizing what the public humanities are, who does it, and how we do it. In short, most invocations of the public humanities focus on scholars communicating and sharing their own research. I take a broader approach, wherein I also support students as they develop capacities for circulating feminist and queer knowledge through the kinds of projects I share here.

I offer consulting services for incorporating project-based learning into classes, setting up humanities research teams, and creating synergies across one’s teaching, research, and public-facing work. I’m happy to offer reduced rates to non-profit organizations, artists, and policy makers.
