They hold a PhD in Rhetoric and Composition and an MFA in Creative Writing. Broadly speaking, Jo&#8217;s\u00a0research examines how stories shape our shared worlds\u2014 both how narratives are used to constrain institutional access and social imagination, and also how those structurally marginalized wield stories to critique and revise the conditions of their lives.
