About

I am a feminist theorist invested in rethinking the relation between the sciences and the humanities. My research and teaching foreground feminist and anti-racist philosophies; gender, sexuality, and feminist studies; feminist science and technology studies; and continental philosophy of science.

I am interested in the ontological implications of scientific research that investigates the nature of matter, life, and our world more broadly. My dissertation, The Conditions of Emergence: Towards A Feminist Philosophy of the Origins of Life, was written under the direction of Elizabeth Grosz and Mark B.N. Hansen. 

I completed my PhD in May 2020 at Duke University, with certificates in Feminist Studies and College Teaching.

My undergraduate training took place at Rutgers University—New Brunswick, where I double majored in Women’s and Gender studies and Cultural Anthropology, and double minored in Critical and Comparative Race and Ethnic studies, and Biology. My undergraduate honors thesis, entitled The Viral Origins of Life, won the Dorothy Hamilton Award for Outstanding Research.

Currently, I’m the Associate Director and a Core Faculty member at Night School Bar—a Mellon-funded public humanities initiative. Our goal is to cut across class barriers to make the arts and humanities accessible to all, something I’m deeply passionate about. I’m also an affiliated scholar at the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University.
