My research addresses the hermeneutical injustices endemic in contemporary queer and trans life. In particular, I draw from non-Euromodern philosophical traditions and interdisciplinary resources to address contemporary real-world issues at their philosophical roots, e.g., bisexual erasure as a product of both the cisheterosexual matrix as well as a legacy of the modern/colonial gender system. Below is a selection of published work and works in progress. I am happy to provide copies of published work by email upon request.
2023 Projects:
(1) A pair of articles creatively articulating Confucian philosophical resources for supporting trans and queer youth and for intervening in complex transgenerational trauma.
(2) A pair of articles developing critical methodologies for bringing classical Confucian and Daoist philosophies into dialogue with contemporary trans and queer philosophy.
(3) A critical comparison of Gloria Anzaldúa and Zhuangzi on the possibilities for trans nonbinary existence
Publications:
(1)“The Need for More than Role Relations: Queer Lives, Social Group Identities, and Confucian Self-cultivation.” Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy 20, no. 2 (2021): 269-287.
