About Me

---

Si Chava Transken of Prince George is a poet, activist, vegan and UNBC teacher of Social Work. My main interests are in social justice activism - these interests are furthered through teaching, research, scholarly writing, facilitating workshops, speaking or reading poetry at social justice events and/or through fundraising and participating in vibrant expressions of democracy.

Her doctorate is in Equity Studies from the University of Toronto. She was taught by Laurentian University students for three years before coming to Prince George in 2001 to teach in the Social Work and Gender Studies Program. Her private practice, Trans/Formative Services, brings women into her life who are courageous, tenacious, and clawing their way through the pain of patriarchy, classism, heterosexism, and many other ugly oppressions.
