Camargo Foundation Fellowship

Au printemps 2022, j’ai eu l’honneur d’être en résidence de recherche à la Fondation Camargo. Cette résidence est la principale “Core” que la Fondation offre à ses résidents.

Ces 11 semaines m’ont été très bénéfique. J’ai été retenue en  proposant un projet sur l’afrofuturisme et le fantastique en particulier, ainsi que les productions digitales d’afroféministes. Tout au long de la résidence, j’ai eu le temps d’écrire, de parler à voix haute de mes idées à d’autres fellows, et surtout de lire et de relire d’excellents livres.

Je suis extrêmement honorée d’avoir fait partie des fellows de 2022 et heureuse des connaissances que j’ai faites. Ce temps sera à tout jamais gravé dans ma mémoire.

In Spring 2022, I was fortunate to be awarded the Camargo Foundation Fellowship for Spring 2022.

This 11-week residency was really beneficial to me. The project I was working on was about afrofuturism and the fantastic, and afrofeminist digital productions. During the residency, I had the time to write, talk about my ideas to other fabulous fellows, and most of all read and re-read the most excellent books.

It was an honor to be part of the 2022 Spring cohort of fellows and thankful for the people I have met. All in all, this, experience, I will not soon forget.

Am I the right person for the job?

Whether it is to supervise your M.A. project or collaborate on a project, here are a few guidelines on how I work best with people. You will find my preferred way to communicate and what to avoid when communicating with me! Ready?

 

You want me as your collaborator / advisor if…

  • You love a goal-oriented, focused conversation.
  • You provide assurances about input and decisions.
  • You offer input on how to make the ideas become reality.
  • You are accurate and realistic and do not over-inflate ideas or outcomes.
  • You make an organized appeal for support and contributions.
  • You remember to provide specific action steps and details for all involved.
  • You follow through and do what you say you will do.

 

You don’t want me as your collaborator /advisor if…

  • You tend to complain about all the work you have to do.
  • You tend to rush into the agenda; let’s break the ice/warm up first!
  • You tend to be vague about what is expected.
  • You tend to be impersonal or jump to conclusions.
  • You tend to be vague or ambiguous.
  • You tend to be disorganized.

 

Hope this helps, and don’t hesitate to contact me for more questions or clarifications!
