Media

Starting long before I entered academia, I contributed regularly to various media channels and worked with—and for—the communities I was a part of. As a scholar, I keep up this work. I often write on topics related to gender, feminist politics, and health. Additionally, I share my academic work through such channels and engage with reflections and reactions to it.
