I am dedicated to working, writing and teaching with those who have been marginalized in STEM.
I came to Michigan State seeking to better understand the role that creativity has in scientific learning and understanding. I soon found that what I meant by "creativity" was the validation and welcoming of different sources of knowledge from different parts of student's lived experiences toward transformative ends.
