BA Hons. English and Creative Writing; MA English (Concordia)
I like literature that does something, that seeks to enact social or political change in one way or another, that fights against “the heavy-footed hop[ing] to silence us” (Autre Lorde). Prepare to discuss oppression, resistance, and writing as activism in any class you take with me!
