Upcoming Events
May 27-31, 2025
New York City
National Conference on Race and Ethnicity
I'm so pleased to be back at NCORE for two sessions this year. These are topics I offer as professional development year round too, FYI. Online or in person for your group or campus...
All sessions will be at the New York Hilton Midtown:
San Antonio TX Pride Weekend
This will be my second location this year for interviewing queer families about the importance of pride events and queer solidarity during times of political challenge (from the U.S. government, and certainly in TX too). More info coming on this project...
July 12th, 2025
10am - 12pm PST on Zoom
Corporeal Writing Workshop - Memoir the process
This series focusing on process and understanding how we frame what has happened to us in our lives, how we can use writing as a method of inquiry in order to access and enhance memory. We will spend no time polishing writing (in fact, I hope we write some things we'll never want to share with anyone)

Hugo House: Making Meaning From Memory
Memories aren’t enough to make a memoir. To make a great story, we have to connect our memories to culture, to history, to zeitgeist—and then be as clear and specific about our unique perspectives as possible. In this generative workshop, we’ll open a number of creative doorways (and windows and portholes and tunnels) into meaning and discuss how and why they work. Participants will leave with at least twelve new prompts for mining memory and life stories for deeper meaning
October 24-25, 2025
CUNY, New York
Lesbian Lives Conference
I'm thrilled to attend the first Lesbian Lives conference in the U.S.. I participated in Ireland nearly twenty years ago. This time, in New York, Substantia Jones and I will present a workshop: Fat Lesbians: Intersectional Identities, Positive Representations, and Naked Photos
November 13-16, 2025
Puerto Rico
National Women's Studies Association Conference
The last time NWSA was in Puerto Rico, I found myself standing right next to bell hooks as we read the menu for a restaurant we were each considering. I could barely move; and then she was gone. I'm expecting magical and interesting things this time too. For starters, Breanne Fahs and I are offering a workshop: Fat Identities and Fat Fury: Workshopping What Happens When They Talk About Us Without Us. You don't have to wait to hear from her though. pick up her new book, Fat Fury, immediately. It's amazing.
December 2025 - February 2026
I'll be based in Europe during this time period. Get in touch if you're in the UK or Europe and would like my time or involvement...

"The balance between objectivity and intimate analysis certainly gives Dark an edge and has made her a force to be reckoned with on every level..." — Evening Echo (Cork, Ireland) "Dark's performance was so packed with information, humor, and poetry... One thing is certain: her show is a must-see!" — The Scribe (Colorado Springs, CO) |
