Neesa McRae-McNicholls (she/her), B.A. Journalism Candidate (Toronto Metropolitan University, anticipated 2026), is the current Research Coordinator Volunteer at the SHiFT Lab. Neesa’s research interests include the embodiment and mobilization of BIPOC sexuality, two-spirit identity, and the ways in which women’s sexual agency is simultaneously formed, negotiated, deconstructed, and re-constructed. She is passionate about examining marginalized sexual cultures, dominant BIPOC sexuality discourses, as well as the deconstruction and re-construction of dominant sexuality discourses. She would like to further examine BIPOC experiences of sexuality through post-colonialist, anti-racist, and critical psychological frameworks.
