Writing & Research
Recent & Upcoming Presentations
​
I've presented on a wide range of topics, including teaching strategies, Disney history, and theater at local, regional, and international conferences.
Most recently, I've been researching the ways theatrical combat techniques influenced early depictions of violence in animated Disney films, such as Prince Phillip's battle with Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty (1959). I will presenting my findings at the 2025 PCA/ACA National Conference in New Orleans.
