I'm the editor of Social Objects (2017), and a contributing author to scholarly anthologies like Makers, Crafters, Educators: Working for Cultural Change (2018) and Critical Digital Making in Art Education (2020), as well as publications like Studio Potter, Fusion Magazine, Studio Magazine, CFile, and more.
