hullo. i’m brittany. some people call me “b.”
primarily, i work as a writer and copy editor. i’m a part of the Feminist Review editorial collective and currently help out behind the scenes with Trivia: Voices of Feminism. my writing has appeared in various mainstream and fringe publications. i am currently working on my first zine.
mostly unrelated and less frequently, i work with tiny video, usually of the online variety. i teach web video basics to non-techie folks on a budget, both in schools and at conferences, and i help like-minded radical activists build websites that work for them. until very recently, i co-curated DVblog.
a handful of folks are excited to learn i received concurrent bachelor’s degrees in communication, women’s studies, and psychology, and that i have a master’s degree in media arts. these days, i like the term “recovering academic.”
my partner andreas and i currently split our time between copenhagen and boston. when i’m not writing and consulting, i might be out taking photos or on the road. you can find out more about my conference plans and previous speaking/screening engagements here.
things about which i am currently concerned, beyond the usual social problems and our dying world, include:
-
speciesism
the synergy of the city and empty nesters
when you see two bananas on a styrofoam base wrapped in six layers of plastic - who pays for that in society?
disaster capitalism
when people don’t pull over for ambulances and fire trucks
technophiles
GMOs and patented food
the unfulfilled promises of friendship
digital colonialism
desexualizing book covers
natalism
not being integrated into a burning house
also, i believe in furniture.
