About
My research interests include media studies (content and discourse analysis), metaphor theory, anarchist and anti-authoritarian politics and political organizing, anime and manga as a field for ecological and species oriented political theorizing, immigration and homeland security, especially as it related to issue of race and nationalism, and finally biomedical and transgenetic experimentation and engineering on plants and animals (human and non-human).
My Masters thesis explored the use of metaphors in media discourse to construct Mexican immigrants as a homeland security threat, and its relationship to both homeland security and white nationalist discourses.
Currently I am working on merging the philosophical ideas of Jacques Derrida on the question of the animal with animist spiritual studies and visual politics within pop culture, using Japanese anime as a primary research medium. I am interested in exploring the ways that animation can help open larger dialogues about species relations, questions of being and consciousness, and how these can serve as a bridge for larger philosophical, political and ethical discussions.
