I am Associate Director of the Center for the Humanities at the CUNY Graduate Center, where I lead the Mellon Seminar on Public Engagement and Collaborative Research and Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative. I am also a poet, artist, and yoga teacher. I have my MA in Liberal Studies, with a concentration on Sustainability and Environmental Education, and am pursuing my PhD in English at The GC. My scholarship focuses on water, the environment, and engagement. I am part of the eco-art collective Mare Liberum and co-founder of the Sunview Luncheonette, a community-led convening space in Brooklyn.
