About Us
Amanda Nkeramihigo
Amanda Nkeramihigo is a Masters student in the Historical, Theoretical and Critical studies of Psychology program at York University (Treaty 13) in Canada. She is a member and advisor with BSIP (the Black Students in Psychology association, York University) as well as the cofounder of the Black Student Mentorship Program (BSMP, Est.2021), the first all-students-run of its kind at York University. Before Amanda moved into Psychology, she worked in the arts, primarily as an artist manager to various artists of color in Toronto. A passion project spanning many years and borne from her own poetic imaginings, art is something she still considers primordial in and for her own imagination and by extension her personal and intellectual growth. It has also allowed her, at different times, to escape and validate truths she found nowhere else. She currently serves as the PFV Project Social Media Coordinator.
Nkeramihigo's academic interests are varied and include:
Theories of/in Psychology; the role of art as/in resistance; activism and resistance as medicine; feminist psychologies and transnational feminisms; and anything connected to subjectivity, ontologies, knowledge systems and epistemologies.
She is ultimately interested in critically looking at (and contributing to research around) the way we do Psychology, with an emphasis on investigating the potential role of Psychology in social justice and liberation.
