In my nostalgia feels this morning as I ride the Green Line to Hynes. Thinking about younger me, the simultaneously bright eyed and scared BU college kid unsure of what she would make of her life. Oh if she could see herself now and what’s she’s riding the T this morning to go do. 🤍

Hi! I’m an anti-colonial social studies scholar, teacher educator, public school advocate. My research examines settler colonialism in social studies curriculum (e.g., state standards), research methodology, and popular media (e.g., film & kid lit). Honored to co-edit three books w/ more on the way!

Intros are in order. Meet Nico and Odin—6 year old XL Bully/AmStaff brothers who rescued me in 2020. They survived extreme violence their first two years of life but now live as the most spoiled fur kids in the PNW. Their favorite things are fuzzy blankets, road trips, nightly tug games after dinner

Odin and Nico have entered the chat. Now let’s get down to business! #socialstudiesdogs #socialstudieseducation
