Research
Futuring the Body Collective uses design methods like worldbuilding, somatic storytelling, and collective imagining to prototype alternative models of the university. Rooted in ecofeminist theory and participatory design, the project centers bodies and lived experience as critical sources of knowledge. Developed in collaboration with Melanie Crean and student peer health advocates, the work culminated in a zine publication illustrated and edited by Lorraine Cruz, followed by a co-authored case study reflecting on the workshop methods and outcomes.
