Our work spans diverse areas, methods and models. We work across historical periods and national and geographical boundaries. We surpass theoretical methodologies and forms of media.

We share our research and creative work in peer-reviewed books and journals; through performance and readings; in presentations at national and international conferences; and in podcasts, documentaries, and other print and digital forms.
