Biography
Dr. Shaunasea Brown has a PhD from the Department of Humanities at York University. Her research collaborates with artists in Toronto to delineate a specifically second-generation understanding of Black women’s arts practices. She is interested in how Black Canadian women artists of Caribbean descent offer blueprints for living relationally and suggest methods for radical community care. Shaunasea also sings and plays piano and guitar. Her current playlist includes Chronixx, Bob Marley, Shenseea, Adria Kain and Mustafa the Poet. She is also the co-founder of the Black Researchers of Southwesterm Ontario network (BRSO).
