Maddie Youngman (she/they) has a Master's degree in Philosophy (2022) and a Master's degree in Gender and Social Justice (2024), both from the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø. Maddie's GSJ capstone was about diving into what using "she/they" pronouns could reveal about our understanding of gender categories using a philosophical lens. Maddie's research interests are vast but include, continental philosophy, feminist and queer philosophies, queer embodiment, critical phenomenology, Indigenous philosophies, the ethics of collective action, environmental justice, and animal justice. After the completion of the GSJ Master's program, Maddie has gone on to do a PhD in the Philosophy Department at the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø to continue their research interests on gender nonconformity within lesbian experience and queer phenomenology.
