I am interested in re-imagining academic community, particularly around graduate studies. I am exploring pedagogical spaces and alternative ways of engaging in academic contexts; the asking of ourselves, How do we want to be in the academy? And, as academics, our follow up question becomes, what is our relationship and contribution within local and global communities: I am currently writing a book with the working title, "Re-imagining Academic Communities" based on my experiences of transgressing academic borders.
