I am most interested in exploring how individuals view power and privilege, how they learn about and respond to inequity, and how to help individuals examine their own privileges. I use an intersectional perspective when examining gender, so that people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, races, classes, and abilities are represented. In the future, I aim to educate people about gender, privilege, and intersectional feminism in order to promote equity for all. 1
