Journalism
With a keen eye for the forces shaping our world, my non-fiction writing explores the intersection of politics, society, and identity, offering thought-provoking commentary that challenges the status quo. Influenced by bell hooks, Angela Davis, Lorraine Avila and many others, I focus on work that invites deep thought, questions assumptions, and engages with the complexities of our ever-evolving world. Find my non-fiction writing at the Brooklyn College Vanguard or in my newsletter Bohuco.
Scholarship
My principal research interests are communal agency, marginalization, and past and present systems of oppression and how ordinary people think about right and wrong. My research and scholarship lies at the intersection of critical theory, social psychology and decoloniality. As such, I am also interested in formulating and validating research outside of formal institutions.
Open-access and accesibility in science is a pillar of my work thereby all of my empirical work is publicly available. If you can't find it here in my website, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to share a copy.
