BIS in Individualized Study

Keziah Joy Sanders, 2024

Keziah is from Sylacauga, Alabama majoring in Bachelor of Individualized Study.  
 
What has been your favorite BIS or INTS course, and why?

Black Feminist Thought (INTS 439) was my favorite INTS course because I was introduced to many Black women scholars whose scholarship has been integral in shaping Black feminist ideology and practices that interrogate systems of inequality. Black Feminist Thought taught me to imagine new futures where Black queer bodies are liberated from racialized and sexualized oppression and can exist freely and experience Black joy without Black pain. 
 
What accomplishment are you most proud of during your time at Mason?

I am most proud of my research work that contributed to the development of a new course entitled "LGBTQ+ Literacies for Our Futures" that will be taught in the School of Integrative Studies.
