Biography
Jocelyn’s research mobilizes questions raised by the end of race and other ostensibly intractable systems of cultural, political, and psychic organization. She is primarily concerned with the psychic and affective pedagogies instrumentalized, both consciously and unconsciously, in the construction and regeneration of violent human sorting systems, and the counter-pedagogies developed across various modalities that together might form a teachable ethos of resistance and social transformation. The speculative method of her work draws from both creative and theoretical frameworks, including playwriting and performance studies, affect theory, black feminist thought, gender and sexuality studies, critical theory, and media studies. A former editor and publisher, Jocelyn earned a BA in Ethnic Studies at Brown University.
