Research Focus
I study self-directed learning experiences that occur across different time frames, in a variety of settings, and within overlapping cultures. I work at the intersection of learning, literacies, and identities. My primary method is qualitative, examining learning contexts and learners from a sociocultural historical viewpoint. I attend to people, texts, and spaces through analyses of discourses, narratives, and practices.
There are three goals to my research. First, I seek to examine lesser-known learning pathways that can contribute to a richer theory of learning. Second, I want to identify and amplify voices previously marginalized in the social sciences. Third, I desire to disrupt normative narratives about success and knowledge in society.
