Research Interests

Social and Political Philosophy, Black Political Thought, Existentialism, Phenomenology

Outside of my academic work, I dedicate my time to leading programs at a local shelter and writing poetry. I’m deeply involved in community engagement and creative expression, both of which ground my passion for advocacy.

I received my BA from Queen's University in Philosophy. I am currently undergoing my MA in Philosophy at Queen's University.

I have published a reflection on my undergraduate experience at Queen's on the American Philosophical Association's Blog.

My research interests include Ancient Philosophy (In particular Stoicism and Epicureanism) and Continental Philosophy (Specifically Nietzsche).

Summer (she/her) is a Masters student in Philosophy at Queen’s University, specializing in the Political and Legal Thought (PLT) program. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, where she served as a fellow at the Centre for Ethics in the Race, Ethics, and Power project.

Her research interests include: Black political thought, philosophy of law, critical social theory, and aesthetics, and her work investigates how notions of legality and legitimacy shape our social world, inform our ideas of belonging, and mediate our discourses on racial harm and communal responsibility.

Outside of philosophy, she enjoys baking, listening to new music, and spending time with friends and family.
