My research aims to integrate queer, anti-Blackness, and Indigenous theories of temporalities with those of psychoanalysis to examine and explore impacts of trauma and ongoing patterns of traumatic repetitions and violences. I have published numerous articles and book chapters on eating disorders, sexual and racial/cultural violence, intimate partner violence, participatory action research, and the cultural and psychic production of temporalities around trauma, annihilations anxieties, reproductive technologies, and fetal personhood. My current work integrates queer and psychoanalytic temporalities with anti-Blackness theories, Indigenous Studies, Animal Studies, and posthumanism to deconstruct human exceptionalism and to reinvigorate the more-than-human in theory and practice, especially around issues of fetal personhood, animals and environmental justice, and institutional betrayal around sexual misconduct in psychoanalytic training settings and the academy and the uses of restorative justice and bystander intervention practices. I contribute to the Public Seminar blog from the New School for Social Research on gender and sexuality and most recently, #MeToo in a series of articles and posts titled "Give a woman an inch, she'll take a penis." I have been cited by Jia Tolentino in the New Yorker, for my theoretical work on fetal personhood.
I have provided multiple informational trainings to the National Advocates for Pregnant Women on fetal personhood and annihilation anxieties.
I also adore open water swimming and I play violin with a bunch of bands and on recordings.
