Kinesonics
Kinesonics is the union of movement and music to create a communal experience of physical and sensory exploration.
A collaboration with Chicago-based percussionist Justin Peters, Kinesonics was built on the belief that movement and music are inextricably tied and that one influences the other. Our goal is to explore this connection and to encourage others to do the same in order to engage more deeply with their bodies, their minds, their senses, their communities, and their environments.

Embodied narration

This dissertation project takes a postmodern theoretical approach to explore the role of the body in the social construction of cultural knowledge in the context of distance running.
Using photovoice and grounded theory methodologies, I argue that this organizing context - like most contexts in which the body is wrapped up - is characterized by contradictions which are at once oppressive and libratory.
