BIO
I am an associate instructor in the Department of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Utah. I teach in a new and innovative learning community called Discover U (https://discoveru.utah.edu/). Discover U is a learning community for second-year students who are still deciding on a major and which future paths they want to pursue. In my Discover U course, alongside major exploration, we focus on the eight dimensions of wellness: social, physical, emotional, occupational, intellectual, environmental, financial, and spiritual wellness.
I am first and foremost a philosopher. My research lies at the intersection of feminist theory, political philosophy, and social geography. I completed my Ph.D. in 2022 at the University of Utah, and in my dissertation, titled "Spatial Injustice," I argue that because difference is a major component of city life, we need to take a contextualized approach to spatial justice. In other words, urban spatial justice cannot be achieved without considering the complexities of group membership, diversity, and difference.
In 2013 I earned a B.A. in History from University of Maryland, and in 2016 I completed an M.S. in Philosophy at the University of Utah.
I was born and raised in Denmark. Driven by wanderlust and my love for big cities, I moved to London, England after graduating high school, followed by nearly a decade in New York City (best place on Earth, if you ask me!). I also spent three years in Stuttgart, Germany, as part of my stint as a soldier in the US Army, where I, prior to pursuing an academic career, spent six years as a heavy equipment operator.
When I am not busy doing philosophy, you can find me hiking with my border collie, Odin, working out, reading historical fiction, crocheting amigurumi, or traveling in pursuit of new adventures.
