We’re thrilled to welcome Candice Hoyes as the Gender+ Justice Initiative’s 2026–2028 Researcher in Residence.🎶

An acclaimed vocalist, composer, researcher, and cultural storyteller, Candice Hoyes brings together music, history, cultural memory, and Black feminist thought in an interdisciplinary practice rooted in Black history, ancestral sounds, and the people’s archives.

During her residency, she will develop a collection of essays exploring songs from across the Black Diaspora through Womanist theoretical frameworks—and share her work in conversation and collaboration with students, faculty, and the broader Georgetown community.

Her residency arrives alongside another exciting chapter: the release of her debut album, Expecting, an immersive blend of jazz, soul, Afro-psychedelia, and experimental Black music.

We can’t wait for what the next two years will bring. Welcome to Georgetown University and Gender+ Justice Initiative, Georgetown University , Candice! ✨
