My co-author Andréa Stella and I have published several articles in an ongoing series of theoretical work we’re developing focused on Mad Mentally Ill Neurodivergent and Disabled (MMIND) subjectivity, whiteness, and pedagogy.

Our piece, titled “Crazy Femme Pedagogy: Toward an Archive,” appears in Mad Scholars: Reclaiming and Reimagining the Neurodiverse Academy, forthcoming from Syracuse University Press in 2024.

Below is our 2019 article “#Triggered: The Invisible Labor of Traumatized Doctoral Students” published in The Journal of Multimodal Rhetorics.
