Dr. Horsley is a pleasure seeking activist, visual artist, and scholar. She is committed to social justice for Black girls and women. Through the figure/trope of the “freak” in pornography and popular sonic culture, Dr. Horsley explores how Black women resist sexual oppression through reclaiming fatness, queer identities, and gendered non-conforming bodies. Dr. Horsley earned her Ph.D. (2016) from IU in African American and African Diaspora Studies. She is an Assistant Professor in Women’s and Gender Studies and for the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity at Ithaca College. Learn more about her work here.
