How Does It Feel to be Creative? A Phenomenological Investigation of the Creative Experience in Kinetic Places

Description: How does it feel to be creative? Such a question, when approached from a phenomenological perspective, reveals new understandings about the embodied experience of creativity, and how it feels as it is being lived. This investigation begins with a provocative contrast of two environments where creativity is thought to manifest itself: school art classrooms, where creativity is often legislated from an authority figure, and New Orleans Second Line parades, where creativity is organically and kin… more

A Narrative Study about the Transformative Visual Cultural Dialogue beyond Women's Veils

Apprenticeship to Signs in Art Education

Description: This research looks thoughtfully and deeply at the relationship between art education and signs, as defined by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1964/1998). Signs, as articulated by Deleuze (1964/1998), are violent disruptions to our way of understanding the world, causing us to think again and/or re-consider what we once knew (or thought we knew). This study looks generatively at how these kinds of disruptive and disorienting moments might be mined for possibilities in art education and r… more

Building a Collaborative Smartphone Application for Blind and Low Vision Visitors at the Dallas Museum of Art

With an application, blind visitors have more access to opportunities and tools in the museum, which empowers their museum experience.

A Somatic Mindfulness Project Exploring the Effects of Meditation on Art Appreciation in the Gallery Setting

Description: This dissertation describes the effects of a somatic mindfulness project on the way participants interact with and respond to works of art in a gallery setting. The study begins with a critique of Descartes' philosophy, Cartesianism, which emphasizes the role of the mind over that of the body and senses and argues that this thought continues to affect education even today. By contrast, phenomenology and mindfulness practices attempt to overcome Descartes' legacy by focusing on the importance of… more

Post-Intentional Phenomenological Approaches to Understand the Lived Experiences of Students Learning with a Game in Higher Education Art Appreciation

Thinking Through the Ecological Crisis with Hannah Arendt

Description: This dissertation offers a philosophical analysis of the ecological crisis through the lens of Hannah Arendt. It frames the ecological crisis as a struggle for situated cohabitation. By analyzing the work of Arendt, this dissertation shows the ways in which the ecological crisis is entwined with the political crisis of plurality. I suggest that these two issues are interconnected and that we need to address both for situated cohabitation. This dissertation is an interdisciplinary work, drawing … more

Parapolitical Aesthetics

Description: Parapolitical Aesthetics is a working critique of the sociopolitical and socioeconomic apparatuses, hierarchies, and in-flux mechanisms of lived neoliberal reality. Focusing on the “politicality of apoliticality”, molar and molecular forms of fascism as presented by Deleuze and Guattari, and in full recognition of Fisher’s “cancelled future”, my artistic praxis manifests in varying mediums ranging from traditional photography, installation sculpture, video-based new media, and painting.
