Melinda Russial

Melinda studies decoloniality and change agency in global education. Her work encompasses the intersections and entanglements of discursive, affective, ethical, and juridical spaces in justice-oriented institutions. Melinda’s background as a professional musician and interdisciplinary arts and humanities teacher supports her commitment to traversing the borderlands of theory/method, art /science, and research/praxis. Recent educational work also includes program design and leadership development for experiential education and wellness education in transcultural spaces. Melinda’s research and teaching is informed by currents in feminist, critical, and “post” theories and methodologies, with an interest in practical applications of contingent and relational knowledge.
