Hello! I am Taylor Elyse Mills, a graduate student pursuing a dual degree JD & PhD in Philosophy at Michigan State University, with a certificate in Digital Humanities. In addition to my role as a student, I am a co-founder of the Undergraduate Network for Research in the Humanities (UNRH), an organization devoted to providing opportunities to undergraduates engaging with digital humanities research. My research interests are social justice oriented, including engaged philosophy of law and policy, social epistemology, critical race theory, feminist jurisprudence, Indigenous philosophies, and anti/decolonial theory. My legal areas of interest are Indigenous/Tribal Law and Immigration Law. I am also interested in pedagogy and aesthetics. I enjoy hiking, singing, music composition, and photography.
