Emily Mastragostino is a PhD student in Counselling and Clinical Psychology at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) in the University of Toronto. From a positive psychology lens, Emily’s research focuses on investigating the ways in which marginalized communities cultivate wellbeing, despite institutional and social barriers. From May 2021 to August 2022, Emily supported the Pussy Palace Oral History Project in the synchronous coding of interview transcripts with their associated Zoom video recordings. Through the coding process, she identified and organized themes in the lived experiences of organizers, patrons, and community members involved in the Pussy Palace bathhouse events.
