Alison Davis is a lifelong student who was born in Detroit, Michigan, lives in California, and explores the world through teaching and learning. Her literary work engages the qualities of devotion and awe, which are equally available in both joy and in grief, in the everyday and in the extraordinary. As a scholar, Alison's research focuses on participatory pedagogy, spiritual inquiry, and healing practices. As a human being who believes in interconnection and deep relationality, Alison's social justice work, especially in food justice, embodies the transformative paradigm as a path of mutual liberation. She likes lists, litanies, and alliteration. She loves making trash art with her kids, running up mountains (both real and imagined), and praying to the God of her understanding.
