My name is Avory and I am a writer, blogger, editor, and activist. I currently work on web development, social media, communication, and fundraising in the non-profit sector. I am a 2009 graduate of the University of Iowa with a JD degree and a 2006 graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a BA in History. My academic interests include human rights law, global development, foreign languages, feminism, gender and sexuality studies, and European history. I blog at Radically Queer and the vegetarian foodblog Shortcut to Mushrooms. My hobbies include yoga, learning new languages, and keeping up with progressive news. I am queer, feminist, and genderqueer. I've been lurking on Wikipedia for years (I actually forgot my first username), but I recently decided to return and see what I can do to help on articles focused on gender, sexuality, and feminism.
