Bio: Derek graduated in 2011 with a major in Women's Studies and a minor in Creative Writing. Derek is a public educator who has worked in a variety of settings, including working in Edmonton schools to teach youth about healthy relationships, bullying and child abuse. In late 2015, Derek proposed a project to deliver a weekly violence prevention program to male-identified youth, and in early 2017-with the support of the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton-Be Your Own Man has launched in four schools. In addition to currently serving on the board of Concrete Theatre, Derek has a number of abandoned (but not regretted) initiatives, including the short-lived Fresh, a literary series designed to highlight the non-fiction stories of marginalised writers.
