Research Interests

I am an educational philosopher, theorist and qualitative researcher of Irish maternal and Settler identity. I engage intersections of history, philosophy, and sociology in bringing greater understanding to educational complexities through decolonial priorities. My scholarship examines the reproduction of societal inequalities in K-12, teacher education, and higher education settings through curriculum broadly understood, and is directed towards collaboratively repairing and renewing relations in educational settings, urban landscapes, and Canadian society. Drawing on my significant experience as a teacher in culturally enriched urban K-12 classrooms, my theorizing and research projects work to disrupt the centring of Euro-Western approaches and knowledges in the broader interest of decolonial systemic change. I engage my extensive experience with the Tri-Council Policy Statement on research ethics and its implementation to support ethical research practices through Community-University structures.
