Research Interests

My research is aimed at understanding how cognition is permeated by community and social structure. This includes extended, embedded and embodied theories of cognition. I am interested in radical epistemologies and imaginations; focusing specifically on how these emerge in groups. I aim to apply feminist and de-colonial methods to considerations of cognition and the role of social others in thinking, analyzing and making choices.
