About

<p><em>Megan is a second year PhD student in the department of Feminist Studies. Her research focuses on the intersections of black queer and feminist geographies, transatlantic slavery, and ecological justice. She is interested in understanding how gendered forms of antiblack violence are tied to issues of land and spatiality, particularly in the United States, the Caribbean, and Brazil, as well as the ways that black women writers articulate relationships with land that foreground refusal, pleasure, and healing.</em></p>
