Biodata
Emily Day Kaczmarek is a Master student at Essen University Germany, where they study to become a German and Philosophy teacher. Their studies have mainly focused on neo-colonial studies of intersectionality as well as analysis of queerness in literature and film. As a queer person in humanities and social sciences their interest has always been to further and re-educate themselves regarding different social and cultural workings to take that interest as well as their findings into the classroom and onto the streets. After their BA thesis on queer narratives and the search for safe spaces within a community of practice, their interest is to deepen an understanding of queerness, that is aligning as well as acknowledging cross-cultural, intersectional, globalized historical and contemporary identities. Emily’s goal is to use the teaching career to not only educate, but to work with kids and teenagers in a way that validates the individual as well as enriches the community by offering the tools to support a sense of agency and responsibility for everyone.
