katie robinson (all pronouns) is a student of love, trauma, and transformation. Their academic, artistic, and community work is curious about and present with individual and collective harm, such that our wounds may be understood outside of a modernist-colonial paradigm. As an abolitionist, they are a servant to transformation that occurs at the levels of the psyche, the nervous system, and the close relationship. katie’s academic work, as a PhD candidate studying Depth Psychology, with a specialization in Community Psychology, Liberation Psychology, Eco-Psychology and Indigenous Psychologies, has afforded them rigorous exposure to the harms of Western conceptions of mental health, as well as, in turn, a decolonial view of the psyche. Katie lives in Minneapolis with their partner, cat, and dog. (photo by Adja Gildersleve)
