She recently was the 2022-2023 recipient of the postdoctoral fellowship in Black Feminist Thought at Queen鈥檚 University. She was also awarded the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) doctoral fellowship while completing her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Gender Studies.

She has published a book review of Brittney C. Cooper鈥檚 Beyond Respectability: The Intellectual Thought of Race Women in Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography and is currently working on the final draft of her article entitled "Opaque Aesthetics of Freedom: Romaine la Proph猫tesse, the Haitian Revolution, and Black Diasporic Possibilities鈥 for the Journal of Canadian Studies鈥 special issue on Black Studies in Canada. She is also working on her book manuscript Arousing Freedoms: Re-Imagining the Haitian Revolution through Sensuous Marronage, where she re-narrates the Haitian Revolution through Black feminist and Black queer epistemologies and methodologies. Disrupting the authority of the colonial archive and of prevalent masculinist framings of insurgency discourses, she explores the ways in which embodiment, labour, sensuousness, spirituality, marronage, resistance and alternative sexualities and genders, re-imagine the edicts of freedom and Black liberation.

Anderson is a PhD candidate whose doctoral research, 鈥淏eing Otherwise: Black Women鈥檚 Literary Interventions into Radical Being, Knowledge and Power,鈥 considers self-fashioning and world-making in Black women鈥檚 intellectual traditions and literatures in the Americas. Her areas of research interest include the Black Radical Tradition, Black feminism/womanism, Black aesthetics and Black literatures. 鈥淚 am grateful to the Tubman Institute for the continued support to examine enslavement in the context of the Americas. Here I can further develop a scholarly practice that adheres to geographer Katherine McKittrick鈥檚 admonishments to shift 鈥渙ur analytic frame away from the lone site of the suffering [Black] body鈥 and 鈥渢oward co-relational texts, practices, and narratives that emphasize black life鈥 (McKittrick 2014). My gratitude continues for acceptance and space in this collegial environment of innovative scholars.
