The primary objective of my teaching program is to provide students a safe place for enhancing philosophical and analytical skills in order to motivate their ability to initiate concepts, theories, practices and attitudes applicable to promoting social justice.

Research Interests
Exploring visual histories and current approaches related to identity, culture and difference through media propaganda, bias, discrimination, and political agendas. My research ranges from applied visual and performing arts related to gendered identity topics through interdisciplinary formats.

The main thrust of my research effort is that of awareness of artistic practices, considering the impacts of emerging technologies, changes in public policy, and environmental and resource constraints that are likely to affect society at large.
