Welcome to Class

Curated by me and other collaborators, this is a growing and living collective of transgressed learning. I believe systems should love us — and until they do, we’ll keep studying, imagining, and building the ones we deserve. 

We have syllabi, public lectures, learning tools, and community teaching resources centered on:

  • Black, Indigenous, and intersectional futures

  • Queer, Trans, and Two-Spirit Joy

  • Methodological Anarchy and Guerrilla Research

  • Sociotechnical Systems in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

  • Grief as method, joy as pedagogy, and love as curriculum

  • Youth-centered, trauma-informed, culturally grounded tools

Whether you're an educator, a student, a healer, a TikTok creator, or just someone trying to learn more, this space is yours, too. 

Why a Curriculum?

I’m passionate about learning, yet I have a strong aversion to academic institutions. This internal conflict shapes my belief that the curriculum is the best way to convey information. The core of education isn’t the problem; it’s the material being taught and the perspectives that are prioritized. Many educational institutions teach social norms that uphold the status quo in society. It’s important to distinguish between hating schooling and hating learning; after all, learning is an act of love.

I navigated my way into a PhD program to serve as a bridge between the ivory towers of academia and the communities I am part of. My goal is to elevate the knowledge I gain in these communities while also bringing valuable skills and information back to them to see if they are beneficial. I strive, as bell hooks suggests, to imagine ways to move beyond boundaries and to transgress societal limitations. I aim to use education as a practice of freedom.

Latest Tools

You don’t need permission to study here.
These tools are free to take, remix, teach, and share.

Each syllabus and resource — from Pride is STILL a Riot to abolitionist toolkits and queer futurist playlists — includes a mix of readings, music, videos, poetry, and prompts. Use what speaks to you. Adapt what doesn’t. Make it yours.

Whether you're an educator, organizer, youth, elder, or curious learner, this space is for you. Use it in classrooms, book clubs, support groups, or at your kitchen table. There’s something here for your students, your friends, your family (yes, even the messy ones), and your community.

Please share widely. Credit creators. And if this work nourishes you, please follow my social media or consider paying for my online video course working through each section of each syllabus!
