episode 9: Going Home - Dr. Christina L. Ivey
About This Episode
In this episode of Stories Found, we're chatting with one of our favorite scholar/poet/storytellers, Dr. Christina L. Ivey. We discuss family, autoethnography, and the importance of storytelling. We then listen to her story, Going Home, about how she, as a queer woman, navigates her relationship with a conservative, Trump-supporting father.
About the Storyteller
Dr. Christina L. Ivey
Dr. Ivey (they/she) is a lecturer and budding poet living on the outer cusp of the Pacific Northwest. She currently teaches Communication and Culture classes, but in their own poetic way, thinks of it as training the next frontline of bad ass social justice advocates. When not in the classroom, you can find them in the chair at a tattoo parlor, watching live drag/burlesque/performance art, or snuggling her cats. She has publications in various academic journals (Women's Studies in Communication, The Journal of Autoethnography, QED: A Journal of GLBTQ Worldmaking), as well as a self published chapbook called Sacred Geometry.
