Scottie Vandy (he/him) is a young museum professional with a passion in women’s history, queer history, and the ways in which cultural texts throughout American history have contributed to social norms over time. Scottie is an undergraduate student at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. where he is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies.

As an undergraduate, Scottie has engaged deeply in the intersections of gender, sexuality, and other socially constructed categories through his studies and work. He previously worked at Georgetown University’s LGBTQ Resource Center, a pioneer for Catholic institutions seeking to support LGBTQ+ students. In this role, Scottie worked extensively on program design, marketing, and outreach. He is also an avid cultural analyst, frequently looking to music as a signifier and storyteller of American identity. From songs to music videos to award shows, Scottie believes that at each level, these culturally defining texts and moments reveal something deeper about our past, present, and future. His passion for music runs even deeper, however, and is manifested in Scottie’s position as President of the Georgetown Phantoms, Georgetown University’s premier all-gender a cappella group.
