Quinn-Evelynn Drummond

Thesis title: Conscious Beholding: Strategies, Methods, & Approaches Of Transgender & Gender-Nonconforming Filmmakers

Q.E. Drummond (she/her) is a graduate from the MA Media Studies program.

She is also a graduate of Southern Oregon University, where she attained degrees in Communication and in Emerging Media & Digital Art, along with minors in Rhetoric & Reason and in Gender, Sexuality, & Women’s Studies.

Her academic foci are — as one may very well expect — derived from these fields and include, amongst other things, storytelling, narrative truth, rhetorical dynamics, contemporary cultural imperialism, and the weaponization of media.

She has touched on several of these topics through her podcast, Internarrative and plans to expand thereon in traditional thesis format, the specific nature of which is yet to be determined. Over the course of her burgeoning academic career, she has been awarded a number of accolades for her work, including the Barbara Scott Winkler Theory in Action Award and the Dankook Award for Outstanding Graduating Senior.
