Felicity Hauwert is in her final year of the BA Honours in Sociology program at Carleton University. Their research interests include Black aesthetics and visual and spatial politics, and their intersections with Black feminism and decolonization. Felicity is currently working on her Honours Research Paper, incorporating these interests to investigate if and how Black artists and curators can establish and define radically transgressive spaces within independent galleries.
Felicity is now in her third year as one of two acting Co-Chairs for Carleton’s Sociology & Anthropology Student Association (SASA). Through her work within SASA, Felicity has come to learn what it means to work collaboratively towards set community goals. You can stay up to date with SASA’s various initiatives and events via Twitter or Instagram. In addition to their involvements with SASA, Felicity is currently working as the RIFA (Racialized and Indigenous Faculty Alliance) Student Partner, in partnership with Professor Carolyn Ramzy, RIFA’s current Chair, through the Students as Partners Program (SaPP).
As a photographer and writer, Felicity strives to engage their life experiences with the knowledge they have come to during their time at Carleton, centralizing collaborative community-based knowledge production in their artistic practice and work.
