Louanne Morin returns to Arthur Volume 59’s writing staff, blessing this humble media empire with her experience in the annals of Trent Central Student Association and Peterborough City Council history. Beyond her coverage of these institutions, she hopes to continue to share and discuss art within her writing, from ambiguous musical narratives of religious salvation to early 2000s lesbian romance films.

Morin remains committed to a critical approach to journalism, situating her local coverage within larger structures of power, and using her writing to compel readers to action. While her influences are distinctly Marxist and Feminist, she seeks to present these ideas in a more accessible style, in hopes of broadening the reach of her work.

This author’s past work with Arthur ranges from satirical articles about Trent University’s new messenger pigeon infrastructure to more serious coverage of local protests against the genocide of the Palestinian people. Where one can easily get lost in the litany of news coming from all directions, Morin hopes that her satirical and analytical writings will provide readers with a broader picture of the community they live in.

Outside of the cold, cold room where she barricades herself Grimes-style to churn out articles for her editorial overlords, Morin can often be found in Trent’s Otonabee college dining hall, awaiting the release of a third vegan meal option, or at Sadleir House, periodically starting and giving up on reading Felix Guattari & Gilles Deleuze’s Anti-Oedipus.
