About me
I’m a fourth year Biology and English student at Queen’s who loves adventures, traveling, learning mind-boggling information, people, food and kickboxing. I’m the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society Equity Officer for 2011/12. I know that I’m privileged in many ways, and learning about and seeking to work against that privilege is a priority for me. I’m definitely not an expert on all the different kinds of oppression, so I’d love to hear your perspective. You might even be able to guest write on this blog, so come talk to me.
To ask questions, discuss anything in this blog, or find out about resources available to you, email the ASUS Equity Officer, Geneviève Rochon-Terry, at equity@asus.queensu.ca.
