Research Interests

My current research explores phenomenological accounts of experience and agency through a transdisciplinary lens, integrating the practice of dance with philosophy, cognitive science, social psychology, and movement-oriented scholarship. I use dance in (social) relational and ecological dimensions to deeper understand cognition as/through movement. I focus on what happens from a lived experiential perspective when we move together, embedded in and reflecting our cultural context, while shaping and being shaped by our environment.
