Establishing the behavioral, habitual, neurological underpinnings of Othering
BLUE Community Fellow

Background
my work builds upon combining my love of post colonial theory, critical race theory, queer theory, and feminist theory with my love of neurological pathways for attention, decision-making, behavior, and habits. exploring notions of otherness, identity, positionality, behavior, -isms, power; hoping to establish behavioral, habitual, neurological underpinnings of othering. if it is socio-psycho-biologically learned, it can be unlearned.
