My name is Karissa Conrad. I received my Ph.D. from Purdue University in 2021. As a former collegiate track and field athlete and life-long runner, my work examines narrative knowledge production in the context of running. I am a passionate teacher, ally, and community member, and I am currently pursuing a career in undergraduate education, critical writing, and/or qualitative research.

Outside of my work, I spend my time training, following professional running, and teaching yoga.
