Science & Poetry

Our article in BioScience shows how poetry can enhance environmental science; this article won an Honorable Mention from the Ecological Society of America's Education Section.

My multi-media series of 8 poems on waves is published on Foundry.

Multilingual Writers

My work on multilingual writing spans multiple continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas) and languages. My own creative writing is also multilingual. I'm interested in national language policies as well.

Gender

My poetry has been featured in Feminist Formations, Women's Studies Quarterly, Salome Magazine, and in textbooks from Oxford University Press. My research on war writing also focuses on gender.
