Managing Editor

Kelly Ancharski, MSW is a Doctoral Candidate in Higher Education with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona. They are a gamer, lover of slugs, and sometimes poet-in-researcher form. Kelly earned a BA in Political Science from UA, School of Government and Public Policy and a Master of Social Work from New York University, Silver School of Social Work. In addition to their role as Managing Editor, Kelly is a Research Associate at the UA LGBTQ+ Institute. Previously, they were a Project Manager at the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research. Their dissertation focuses on trans world- and kin-making alongside Dungeons and Dragons gameplay and collective storytelling. They weave play, livingness, and storytelling to revel in the potentialities of trans worldmaking—the characters, players, worlds, and dice that we shape and shape us. They (unsurprisingly) enjoy TTRPGs, cozy video games, zine-making, jigsaw puzzles, and taking care of their neighborhood cats.
