Why PS @ NYU?

I'm interested in collectively thinking through the histories of popular movements and visual culture using the methodologies and tools of performance studies, cultural studies, and radical history. My aim is to study cultural and political practices in the contexts of the communities from which they emerge, learning from theory developed through lived struggle, rather than apart from it.
