“Praxis” is the practical application of theory or ideas, which prompts us to act on our espoused ethics, beliefs, and values in order to effect a positive impact in the world. Each of these projects represents my praxis, as they are deeply informed by my research, ethos, and commitment to upholding justice, celebrating diversity, preserving the sanctity of life, and honoring the sacred.
