About

Hi! 👋🏻

Joel Izlar (CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0+)

I’m Joel Izlar (for American visitors, my last name rhymes with the “Twizzler” licorice candy). Welcome to my personal site!

I must warn you that this is pretty boring place, and you may be better off looking at the 500 cutest animals or listening to some cool music from Tanzania.

About Me 📚

I’m a Dad, social scientist, educator, tea head, noise rock enthusiast, and manic depressive. My pronouns are He/Him.

I have over a decade of experience as a community worker in the US Deep South where I’ve focused on ecosocial welfare, mutual aid, popular education, and justice.

I now spend my time researching, teaching, and publishing on ecosocial community work. I am currently a PhD Candidate in Social Work at the University of Georgia (US).

This site isn’t updated very often, but I’m somewhat active on Mastodon (@joelizlar), so join me there!
