Day 4 — Queering Antiracism with Linzey Corridon (he/him)
Event Information
About this Event
Description:
This session is preoccupied with thinking through modes of queering antiracism efforts through ethical citation practice and knowledge production in the classroom. Through conscious questioning and rethinking of how instructors cultivate and disseminate knowledge to students in the classroom, ideas of queering citation and knowledge production practices will be brought to the forefront of the discussion. This workshop is excellent for graduate students and teacher candidates interested in queering antiracism work or developing an ethical citation practice for their assignments, research, and writing.
Bio:
Linzey Corridon is a Vincentian guy, an emerging writer, teacher, and activist. His critical and creative work can be found in publications such as The Puritan, Montreal Writes, Insight Journal, and Emotional Magazine. A PhD student in the department of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, his current research navigates literature, queer theory, cultural and policy studies, and the digital humanities to think critically about new and continually generative ways in which queer West Indian and diasporic writing may be used to reform CARICOM notions of citizenship and policy-making.
