My scholarly practice is grounded in an interdisciplinary approach that examine the issues of race, gender, and colonialism in the transnational contexts. Across my scholarship, I examine how colonialism, specifically the colonial logics of knowing and feeling, travel, transform, and manifest across borders, and how communities mobilize creative and pedagogical practices to resist them. A core strand of my work investigates the transformative potential of arts-based pedagogies, particularly their capacity to foster critical consciousness, support community engagement, and advance decolonial forms of knowledge-making.
Book
Decolonial Arts Praxis: Transnational Pedagogies and Activism illustrates the productive potential of critical arts pedagogies in the ongoing work of decolonization by engaging art, activism, and transnational feminisms.
Offering contributions from scholars, educators, artists, and activists from varied disciplines, the volume highlights how arts can reveal intersectional forms of oppression, inform critical understandings, and rebuild transnational solidarities across geopolitical borders. The contributors present forms of inquiry, creative writing, art, and reflection that grapple with issues of colonialism, racism, and epistemological violence to illustrate the power of decolonial arts pedagogies in formal and informal education.
Using a range of multiple and intersectional critical lenses through which readers can examine ways in which transnational feminist theorizing and art pedagogy inform, shape, and help strategize activism in various spaces, it will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students, and practitioners with interests in arts education, the sociology of education, postcolonialism, and multicultural education.
