Research Interests<\/h5>\n

I am studying Religious Education as a source for embodied, liberative, and decolonizing pedagogies that develop competency in navigating spirituality in (post)secular, pluralist contexts. I draw on liberation and postcolonial theologies, critical theories of disability and embodiment, and theories and research methods from the sociology of religion. <\/span><\/p>\n
