After successfully defending my dissertation, I am preparing for the final ceremonies at Tulane in May. My work has always been a "global community engagement," and this achievement belongs to the village that sustained me.

The Ceremonies

• Thursday, May 14, 2026: Graduate Hooding and Recognition Ceremony (Tulane School of Liberal Arts).

• Saturday, May 16, 2026 (5:00 p.m.): Unified Commencement at the Caesars Superdome.
