Service and Organizing
From 2019-2022, I co-organized the Race, Gender, and Feminist Philosophy Workshop (RGFP) at the University of Michigan. RGFP includes a twice-monthly, interdisciplinary reading group and 2-4 speaker events per year. From 2017-2019, I co-organized Michigan's COMPASS workshop for students from a diversity of backgrounds who are considering graduate school in philosophy. COMPASS includes seminar-style discussions, panels on admissions and graduate life, graduate student research presentations, mentorship for attendees, and informal networking and socializing. In addition, I have been a coach (17-18) and judge (19-23) for the Michigan High School Ethics Bowl; I have served as a mentor for a mentorship program for Michigan's first-year philosophy grad students (19-20); and I have co-coordinated weekly works-in-progress sessions for Michigan philosophy graduate students (18-2019). Throughout graduate school, I participated in various roles within Local 3550 of the American Federation of Teachers, the Graduate Employees' Organization (GEO) at the University of Michigan. From 2020-21, I was GEO's President; from 2019-2020, I was a co-chair for the Bargaining Committee; and from 2018-2019, I was a member of the Grievance Committee. Since 2018, I have served on the Board of Directors of the Telluride Association (TA). TA is a nonprofit educational organization whose mission is to prepare and inspire promising students to lead and serve through free, transformative educational experiences rooted in critical thinking and democratic community. While on the board, I have been TA’s Secretary; overseen the hiring of facilitators for TA’s programs for high schoolers; and analyzed TA's budget and spending policy. |
