Questions I'm looking at that relate to justice:
- How to do community-engaged research with refugees ethically and relationally.
- How to turn critical theory about globalization and migration into creative storytelling in order to create a counterculture rather than a critiquing culture
- How to enact a critical refugee studies approach in the classroom and research processes
- How to produce media that platforms refugee perspectives without making refugee 'issues' hypervisible at the expense of the people behind the label; how to create media that invites dialogue rather than ideological shaming
- What it means to be a Christian scholar committed to decolonizing research
