Nicole CrevarNicole Crevar is a Doctoral Candidate (ABD) in English Literature and a Teaching Assistant at the University of Arizona. Her research centers on critiquing the larger power structures that plague our contemporary society and produce vast inequalities-e.g., the patriarchy, racism, and neoliberalism--and analyzing how those structures cause varying forms of trauma for individuals. During her doctoral coursework, Nicole earned a Ph.D. minor in Social, Cultural, and Critical theory, which included a seminar on Feminist Social Movements. However, her interest in mad studies and feminism extends back to her work and training as a Body Image Peer Leader during her undergraduate career. Her dissertation research on neoliberal trauma in contemporary American literature interrogates themes of social justice and mental health and relies heavily on trauma studies/theory. Nicole contributed a chapter, Chicana Poetry and Activism via Digital Communities in 'Poem 25 Giving Voice, ' in 'Post-Humanist Nomadisms across non-Oedipal Spatiality' (Vernon Press, 2021).Nicole is the Graduate Co-Director of Wildcat Writers (UArizona), a college-pathway, community-engagement program that partners Title I high school students (Tucson) with UA college writing students to foster unparalleled educational opportunities for underrepresented populations.
