Cooley, Heidi Rae
Associate Professor
Cooley's scholarship is committed to pursuing a vital relation between theory and practice. Broadly speaking, she is interested in the articulation of poiesis (creative production), aesthesis (sensory knowing), and ethos (practice of living). In this regard, she writes about the inter-relations among technology, sociality, and living bodies. At present she is working on a book-length project that theorizes a notion of eco-logical practice.
