Concerned with questions about meaning making, community building, and globalization, Aaron’s research broadly focuses on the architecture of artistic, activist, and academic knowledge and the way these forms of knowledge inform community building.
He currently follows Malaya Movement USA, a transnational human rights organization that emerged in response to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, a war that has claimed 30,000 lives since he began his six-year-term presidency in 2016.
