My work is largely rooted in the lineage, culture, and language of Madness, which intersects with (among many other things) Disability Justice, decolonization, and abolitionist thought. Mad praxis refuses binary categorizations of “reality” and “nonreality”, “rational” and “irrational”, and “sane” and “insane”. Through this belief we come to resist the assertion that there are people and methods incapable of knowledge-production and -holding. My work aims to expand beyond linear, Western models of “academic” thought and into alternative and additional ways of knowing/understanding/learning/feeling. This is a practice that emphasizes intuition over institution. The basis of this praxis is built upon the scholarship, writing, and thoughts of Black and Indigenous people who often go uncredited in this movement space.
