I am a philosophy student who publishes on substack.

​

I have written on topics like how historiography shapes regional identity, Socratic wisdom, and how memory shapes social positionality. I have also written film criticism on The Seventh Seal (1957), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), and Marty Supreme (2025). I have also done primary research on the Radical Faeries and their philosophy, having presented at the University of Oregon's Undergraduate Research Symposium in 2025.​​

​

My academic and artistic interests lie primarily in phenomenology, post-modern art and literature, social and cultural critique, dialectical materialism, decolonial philosophy, Lacanian psychoanalysis, schizoanalysis, and religious ideology.
