Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein.

—Zora Neale Hurston

Program of Research

My program of research focuses on improving the overall health and well-being of the human and more than human world through radical connection.

Broadly, my research aims focus on examining the positive health benefits of enhanced connection and negative effects of disconnection.

I aim to join an inter-disciplinary collective of scholars and clinicians who are concerned with bringing attention to the negative consequences of modern ways of living and invested in advocating for strengthened connections across various levels (individual, relational, community, culture, society).
