Ellie Liew

Ellie Liew (she/they) was drawn to CRDJ for multiple reasons, but especially because of the explicitly intersectional approach the center takes to racial and disability justice. This approach is not just taken in how the center understands racial and disability justice, but also by committing to addressing a diversity of causes and social issues through intersectional and interdisciplinary work. She is eager to take part in contributing to such intentional and important work. Ellie will be working on knowledge mobilization, and any other projects she can help with. She will be primarily working on the Nexus Framework project, and potentially putting together some exciting work on disabled futures and Afro-futurism. In her free time, Ellie can be found cuddling with her cat, having a cup of tea, and probably crafting.
