About Us
Amanda Nkeramihigo
Amanda Nkeramihigo is a PhD student in the Historical, Theoretical and Critical studies of Psychology program at York University (Treaty 13) in Canada. She is a member of and advisor for both the Black Students in Psychology Association (BSiP) and the Black Student Mentorship Program (BSMP), which she co-founded in 2021.
Before Amanda returned to Academia to pursue Psychology, she worked in music, primarily as an artist manager and as part of a collective of creatives of color in Toronto, a passion project spanning many years and borne from her own poetic imaginings and love of art.
Amanda currently serves as a researcher and social media coordinator for PFV and was the lead on the Voices of Decolonial Feminist Psychology digital exhibit.
Amanda’s academic interests are varied and include: Theorizing from the margins of/in Psychology, with a particular focus on subjectivity, ontologies, knowledge systems and epistemologies; Afrofuturism and the role of art as/in resistance; feminist psychologies; transnational and decolonial feminisms.
She is ultimately interested in critically looking at (and contributing to research around) the way we do Psychology, with an emphasis on investigating the role of Psychology in liberation work.
