Kimberly Gonxhe
- PhD Student - Cultural
Kimberly Gonxhe is a doctoral student pursuing a PhD in Cultural Anthropology. Her research examines how ancestral DNA analysis, genealogy and heritage-based international travel affect women descended from enslaved Africans. Her investigation explores reclaiming identity by utilizing mobility, precarity and race, liberation and freedom, class, roots versus routes (diaspora/displacement), place-making, stand-point theory (positionality), epigenetics and history. Her research is positioned within native, anticolonial, and activist anthropologies, and is informed by Black Liberation Theology and Womanist Thought.
