Instructor: Krystal Kavita Jagoo

Krystal Kavita Jagoo holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Social Work degree. As a fat queer disabled Indo-Trinidadian woman and settler on Turtle Island, she remains intent on anti-oppressive practice as a social worker, especially given her field’s insidious complicity with the problematic status quo. She has taught at Nipissing University and worked as a Wellness Counselor and Coordinator and Accessibility Advisor for the University of Toronto, but has resigned following workplace harassment. Her visual art, “University Ableism Bingo” was featured in Pandemic: A Feminist Response, and the zine, CRIP COLLAB. Jagoo has been awarded Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council grants to work on her memoir essay collection, entitled, “They Colonized Even My Tongue.” Jagoo is passionate about equity, as can be seen from her writing and arts programming work, which includes workshops like Sustainable Resistance for BIPOC Folx and Writing for Social Change.
