Experience
Fulbright Specialist
Apr 2020 — Present
Fall 2021: Environmental and Climate Justice Theater: New Forms for New Solutions. Co-creating curriculum development in the fields of environmental drama / climate change drama for American Studies and Intermediality at the University of Graz; collaborating with the bilingual high school of Graz in the area of inter- and cross-disciplinary education about climate and environmental justice through theater; strengthening collaboration between scholars and cultural institutions concerned with interconnections between theater, literary studies, environmental humanities, and societal groups concerned with climate change, both in Graz and throughout Austria; and directing student productions for the International Climate Change Theater Action Festival. The Fulbright Specialist Program pairs highly qualified U.S. academics and professionals with host institutions abroad to share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their skills, gain international experience, and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions. I have been competitively selected to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster based on my knowledge, skill sets, and ability to make a significant contribution to projects overseas. As a socially and community engaged theater artist and arts educator, I work with communities interested in strengthening the fabric of civic life, elevating issues, and promoting the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.
