Faculty Profile
Katie is in her third year with Trent's Department of Gender & Women's Studies and is thrilled to be a part of this team. She is a feminist historian and interdisciplinary scholar whose research examines the intersections of masculinity, race, popular culture consumption, sex, and class. Specifically, she considers the ways in which white U.S. artists and activists from the 1940s through the 1970s appropriated imagined black masculinities into their work. Currently she is researching the ways in which various artistic groups adopt oppressed identities of race, gender, and sexuality in order to explore marginalization and the ways in which these oppressed identities respond. Katie teaches the Introduction to Gender and Women's Studies, Gender and Popular Culture, and Contemporary Feminisms courses at Trent Peterborough. This past summer, Katie had the exciting opportunity to teach the first WEB course in the department. She loved the experience and is looking forward to teaching it again in the Winter term. Katie is an advocate of feminist activism in educational communities inside and outside of the university and works closely with high schools in Mississauga and Toronto to introduce feminist learning.
