Connor is a genderfabulous feminist, trans(national) activist, and radical writer who is deeply rooted in ideas of social justice and theory. He refuses to be a "pillar" for the communities to which he belongs, and spends lots of time challenging the social conceptions of his peers and fellow Athens-ians. He strives to be an ally and advocate for socially marginalized communities, and constantly pushes himself and others to do the same. He is a strong believer that the capitalist conception of "fairness" is not synonymous to equality, but rather equality is about eradicating injustice in any way possible. Constantly striving to learn new things, and challenge his own inherent privileges, Connor spends much of his free time doing interdisciplinary research and finding methods in which the information of privilege, injustice, and marginalization can be applied to practical methods of socio-cultural change.
