Hi! I’m Baz,

I live on a farm in Washington state with some friends, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and an obscene amount of chickens. I'm learning about land, gardening, and sustainability in living, both as a person with material needs and a person with emotional needs.

​

I'm also a doctoral student studying critical special education with a focus on supporting special education teachers in mathematics in ways aligned with disability justice. I'm passionate about teacher education and love engaging in mathematics with teachers and students in a variety of humanizing and embodied ways that push back on the traditional culture of mathematics learning that caused a lot of us to experience trauma in mathematics spaces.

​

Through all of this, I'm a white, dis/abled, Queer, non-binary trans person who uses all the pronouns (they/he/she+), and is navigating grief, joy, religious trauma, lost family, chosen family, and what a justice oriented anti-capitalist politic looks like in my context. This is a space where I unpack my experiences, thoughts, feelings, and ideas around everything from academic articles to gardening, woodwork to therapy. This is a space for me.
