About
Dominique's main research interests are based in sociolinguistics, primarily concerning the use of language by queer people of color. Her current research focuses on the ways Black queer people use language to construct their own identities in various spaces. Recently, Dominique examined the way language was used to create Titus Andromedon's identity as a Black gay man in the Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. They graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in English Linguistics with a minor in Queer Studies from Eastern Michigan University, where her research focused on the use of language to delineate group boundaries in the discussion of asexuality as a queer identity.
