Over 2000 listens of my EP on SoundCloud. It represents what might be traditionally considered “findings” in qualitative research. Currently writing up my PhD thesis. Hope to submit by the end of September this year. #PMLD #pedagogy #artsbasedresearch #relationalontologies #Spinoza

Perhaps belonging is alchemy. An ongoing speculation of self. A magical process of creation of one’s true self.

This reflection is from a presentation I gave at the @labrc.bsky.social Alchemy Conf. last year. Thinking about layers, reimagining words, reimagining worlds.

Shout out to our amazing partner, Jeneca Parker-Tongue for bringing the impact to #AERA2025!

She just shared insights on how schools can hold both harm and healing—without retraumatizing solutions born from trauma.
