What is your current research?

My research is about using audio theater podcasting and storytelling as a means to divert at-risk youths involved with the juvenile justice system. By delving into how storytelling and other such creative means help give at-risk youths agency and freedom in self-expression, my research aims to push for new initiatives in making this kind of creative work as another central part to the overall juvenile justice effort.
