The path that led me to teaching and Critical Disability Studies was unexpected. Truthfully I wanted to be a famous musician and I was emotionally gut-punched when a high school teacher foretold my future of teaching. Perhaps what he recognized then, was a vocational calling to create community, to life-long learning and to be dedicated to serving others, particularly children.
It took me much longer to recognize that within myself.
The goal of Reflections, is to explore my thoughts, concerns and hopes as an educator, artist and masters's student. As well as consider and unpack the systemic discrimination I have experienced as a fat person, particularly as an artist. Please check back for personal and academic writing based on my experiences and research interests!
