Profile: I am an interdisciplinary scholar, whose research intersects with critical disability studies, early childhood education, cultural studies, and art. With a background in primary special education, my research explores how neurodiversity unfolds in early childhood education through an attention to affect, place, early literacy and language, and the more-than-human. Methodologically, I experiment with sensory ethnography, sound, research-creation, and digital ethnography. I am also a sound artist and composer, and one-half of glitch-folk, electronica duo Oblique Curiosities.

My recent work has been published in Qualitative Inquiry, Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, International Journal of Qualitative Methods, and the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies.

Research interests: affect; autism; neurodiversity; queer studies; early childhood education; literacy; language; sensory ethnography; arts-based methods; research-creation; research mobilities; posthuman and socio-material theories of learning.
