Delaney Harper

Delaney Harper is a recent graduate from Loyola and worked at the Women’s Resource Center for her entire undergraduate experience, and now she works as the Assistant Director. She began as a staff writer for the Feminist Forum and wrote a film column about feminism in unexpected films. In all of her time at the WRC, she has led and contributed to projects such as the partnership with NOLA4WOMEN to feature women who have positively impacted New Orleans, and she has served as an event organizer for the annual film festival and Take Back the Night.

As a native of Pearl, Mississippi, Harper explores southern history in particular and has participated in writing conferences and competitions hosted by Millsaps College and the Eudora Welty Foundation. She also studies the LGBTQ+ and civil rights movements around the world. For her senior history thesis, Harper investigated the way French universalism and, more generally, its cultural history, impacted the homophile movement in the mid 20th century. As a budding historian and screenwriter, she enjoys challenging the boundaries of storytelling, including film and television set recreation. Beyond Loyola’s campus, she has contributed to independent films and music videos as a script supervisor and assistant director. Harper has also volunteered at community colleges and medical care facilities in Mississippi.
