Research interests: I am focused on the field of the common — particularly as it concerns land access. I will be researching the spatiality and politics of intentional communities in Southeast Ohio. I am also interested in how this practice of commoning contributes to the history of American communes dating back to the 1600s. How can current intentional communities learn from communes in the past?
