RESEARCH INTERESTS & METHODOLOGICAL AREAS

RESEARCH AREAS
My research agenda focuses on mapping gender across college contexts, with particular attention paid to trans* collegians.  My work is also focused on affirmative- and resilience-based approaches to working alongside trans* collegians as well as promoting the (un)learning of normative gender constructs in higher education. 

My past and current research includes work focused on: 
  • Gender issues in higher education, specifically as they relate to feminisms and trans* collegians;
  • The intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and disability;
  • Non-binary trans* collegians;
  • How sexual violence prevention educators (SVPEs) conceptualize gender in relation to their work;
  • How theatre faculty conceptualize gender in relation to their work; 
  • Alternative epistemologies, methodologies, and representations of knowledge; and
  • Critical theory, pedagogy, and praxis.

METHODOLOGICAL AREAS
The methodological areas in which I have research experience are largely qualitative, including:
  • Critical collaborative ethnography;
  • Autoethnography;
  • Duoethnography; 
  • Critical discourse analysis;
  • Case study research;
  • Critical narrative inquiry; and
  • Constructivist exploratory studies.


I also have experience being on a large-scale mixed methods research project as a member of the National Study of LGBTQ Student Success research team.
