Jeden O. Tolentino is an historian and an economist. His doctoral project at Queen's University focuses on African American podcasters becoming feminist and anti-racist in order to resist cis-heteropatriarchy and white supremacy. This work seeks to demonstrate the value of podcasts as oral histories for the use of future researchers, teachers, and students of gender studies and of Black studies.
Before coming to Queen's, Jeden earned master's degrees from De La Salle University (2010) and from York University (2021) and published research on various historical themes (e.g., immigration, colonialism, memory, psychiatry, feminism). He has also worked as a social scientist for almost two decades, first in the Philippines and then in Canada.
