Cortnie Belser 

Lost & Found Archival Research Fellow

cortnie s. belser is a Black feminist educator and doctoral student in Urban Education at CUNY Graduate Center. Raised and taught in Baltimore through radical organizing that informed her craft as a middle school Humanities teacher, she now researches how Blackgirls/femme’s institutional, familial, and intimate archives resist historical erasure to build otherworlds of radical pedagogy. As a Lost & Found Fellow, BRES Doctoral Fellow, and Manifold Graduate Fellow, she imagines these archival otherworlds as blueprints for liberatory education.
