MA GNDS 2020
"Hi, I카지노 게임 컬렉션™m Taylor Cenac. I completed my Master of Arts in Gender Studies at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s in September 2020. My research and community work centers how radical loving and caring spaces are fundamental to dreaming toward queer futures. For my MA research, I looked at Black feminist pedagogies using Audre Lorde카지노 게임 컬렉션™s theory of erotic power as a moving metaphysics. I also relied on work by Carole Boyce Davies, M. Jacqui Alexander and NourbeSe Philip to help me articulate the moving desire to find oneself through caring community work. I worked under Dr. Katherine McKittrick to demonstrate how Black women카지노 게임 컬렉션™s loving practices become pedagogies that teach us how to live and grow. I love connecting with people and sharing our dreams for the future, and this need to connect and network with other BIPOC folks has allowed me to grow in unanticipated ways. I recently completed a diploma in social service work at St. Lawrence College. Social service work is about building strong communities of care that seek social justice for those most marginalized among us. I believe youth are central to doing this work because young people dream queer and radical dreams, and this is the vision of community that I seek to cultivate. Kingston was a very new place for me; I am indebted to the faculty, staff, and students at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and to the young troupes and troupe leaders at Roots and Wings with whom I found community."
