Bio

I am midwestern, queer, graduate student who has been exploring Buddhist thought for about 10 years now. I am currently in a PhD program in feminist studies. Academically I am interested in onotology, postmodernity, identity narrative, and queer theory. I've also recently gotten into disability studies, and where those theories meet the aforementioned philosophies. Although I've been reading about Buddhism since I was 14 or so, I am now focusing directly on developing a regular meditative practice.

"If you’re going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning. If you’re going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you’re going to question something, question authority. If you’re going to lose something, lose your inhibitions. If you’re going to gain something, gain respect and confidence. And if you’re going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams." -Daniel Golston
