Background

After having spent time among landmine victims in the minefields of Cambodia, I became interested in those people who can walk across this dangerous ground. This led me to research among landmine detectors who work with animal companions like the landmine detection rats from the NGO, APOPO. My work with animals entails visual and media pieces that can depict how humans and nonhumans can relate. I have a keen interest in interdisciplinary and engaged research that integrates theoretical rigor with public-facing works. I find myself drawn to many different research, art, and pedagogy projects. And yet, these varied projects center on the theme that being human means being related. For me, this entails a loss of innocence about these relations—I am interested in exploring relations that have been affected by legacies of violence and disparities.
