Dani Dilkes is an interdisciplinary researcher, educational developer, and educator located in Ontario Canada. Her work sits at the intersection of feminist sociomaterialism, critical pedagogy, and design/knowledge justice. She draws on creative, critical, and collaborative methodologies to interrogate social practices and structures. She believes that broken systems can be repaired through small changes rooted in interdependence and radical imagination. When she’s not thinking about how to make higher education better, she is cycling, making a mess in the garden, or taking care of cats.
