Welcome to my Featured Articles page, which highlights the impact of my work as an interdisciplinary scholar, community activist, playwright, and theatre director.
This page holds a collection of articles that showcases the ways I have been featured in collegiate, communal, and news publications, journals, and cultural platforms.
Please enjoy these interviews, op-eds, and journalistic profiles that delve into not only my academic research, but my continued advocacy efforts and innovative contributions to the arts.
From addressing systemic injustice and institutional inequality through theatre by bridging academic theory with community-based activism, I believe each article captures a facet of my professional inquiry devoted to writing studies, rhetoric and composition, community literacy, queer studies, and addiction recovery rhetoric.
I am honored to be featured in articles (most written by past students) that continue to help shape conversations we all need to be having at the intersection of scholarship, community, education, and the performing arts.
