They received a MFA in ceramics from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 2021 and are currently a PhD student in performance studies at the University of California, Davis, where they write on the liberatory power of clay through politics of representation, decolonial and anti-racist praxis and practice, and queer and feminist methods. eM teaches in the women and gender studies department at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and in the foundations area at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.
