CONTEMPLATIVE
Kimberly B. George, Ph.D. is a creative non fiction writer and scholar. She specializes in trauma-informed education, pedagogy, writing practices, and feminist ethnic studies. She loves all things vintage—from vintage clothes and antique furniture, to the texts and writing methods of feminist foremothers. She also dances (especially spontaneously in NYC parks).
As a teacher of writing and social theory, her contemplative pedagogy invites her clients and students to trust and grow their creative, revolutionary power.
As a scholar-consultant, she partners with thought leaders beyond the university, including K-12 teachers and religious leaders. She teaches the psychic and social processes of identity formation, centering the brilliant texts of feminist history that give us methods to name systemic injustice. This naming helps us build social movements, coalitions, and collective transformation.
Dr. George is the founder of Feminism School, with participants from 10 countries enrolled in her classes. She also recently founded Lillian Goes Vintage, using her love of vintage clothing to create feminist teaching salons in NYC and beyond.

Feminist Football Fan
My feminism and my love of football have a complicated relationship.
When I was eight and watching Dave Krieg, Steve Largent, and my beloved Seattle Seahawks, I dreamed of being the first female player in the NFL. It felt unjust to me that no women were allowed in, and I wanted to be the first..
On Living a Feminist Life
Sara Ahmed’s latest work, Living a Feminist Life, dismantles the false divide between academic theory and the embodied world in which our concepts come alive. It is the kind of book we need more and more of by feminist scholars. It is an intervention not only in academic feminism...
