activist + educator + researcher + writer I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Reconciliation and Social Justice and the School for Higher Education Studies at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa. I believe that scholarship has the capacity to serve as a form of "activism," an ever-evolving means to achieving social transformation. In my research, teaching, speaking, and writing of comparative global disparities, therefore, I explore relationships between resilience and resistance, oppression, and liberation. Addressing issues of (in)justice and (in)equity within in/formally designed education and knowledge structures (e.g., higher education, critical digital pedagogy, etc.) of society pivot my approach. Within an inter-/trans-disciplinary realm, it is my aim to reconceptualize knowledges and practices, particularly within the context of disenfranchisement. My work intersects sociologies of education and knowledge with critical ethnic studies, social movement studies, and science and technology studies. Read More . . .
