Katherine Achacoso (she/her/sija) is a queer daughter of the Filipinx and Surigaonon diasporas. She was raised in Tkaronto and has spent the past decade learning, organizing, and teaching in occupied Hawaiʻi. Katherine has areas of specialization in environmental justice, critical ecology studies, diaspora, gender and sexuality, and Critical Indigenous Studies/Indigenous feminisms. Her ongoing research examines the transnational history of North American mining on her ancestral homelands in Surigao, focusing on the insurgent ecological responses of Surigaonon communities at home and in diaspora. Katherine is also working on several collaborative projects on Asian settler colonialism and Indigenous politics in Asia, decolonial approaches to disability justice in occupied Hawaiʻi, and community curriculum on survivor-centered approaches to transformative justice. As a scholar-activist, Katherine remains committed to building community-engaged projects and pedagogy that work toward decolonization and transnational solidarities across the Philippines, Oceania, and Turtle Island.
