Roame jasmin

roame was raised in Philly to love the muck, and to cultivate a new world through this love. In thinking about alternative ways to live, their work is often moved to find value in everyday resistances to oppressive systems.  They studied histories of liberation movements in queer, black and indigenous communities. They hold a M.A. in Social Thought in Humanities (NYU), and have studied as a Mellon Mays research fellow (Emory, UCLA, Rice U) with a sharp curiosity toward the afterlife of slave systems in modern contexts. They currently teach Black Studies at Portland State University, and listen to a ton of metal.
