Meet Dr. Dobson
I am a passionate artist, advocate, registered drama therapist, and educator dedicated to empowering creativity and collaborative social justice work.
Throughout my career, I have focused on building community connections and fostering inclusive spaces that center diverse voices. I founded my Theatre and Film company StormDoor Productions, in 2010, to create pathways for young people to share their stories through the arts, and to produce documentary and narrative film projects.
My academic and professional journey has been framed by the exploration of creativity, connection, and growth across various artistic modalities, with a particular emphasis on theater and film. In 2023, I earned my PhD from the University of Kansas Department of Special Education. During my studies, I began working as a teaching artist with youth involved in the juvenile justice system in Kansas. This transformative experience inspired my dissertation, a Narrative Inquiry titled The Revolving Door: Juvenile Justice Stories from the Outside/In.
Co-created with young adults who have navigated this challenging journey, the project captures their moments and memories, shedding light on their stories and advocating for change.
