Education 

The body is one of the primary ways in which we make sense of our world. The body is profoundly involved in knowledge production and impacts who we are and how we connect with the world around us. 

I build interdisciplinary courses and curricula that harness the potential of the body in knowledge production, for both school and higher educational settings.
