What does identifying (or not identifying) with the BGLTQ community mean to you?

I'm fascinated with (and inspired by) work that interrogates and challenges binaristic power/meaning structures.

What advice would you give to yourself when you were an undergraduate?

Take classes in completely unfamiliar fields, and with excellent teachers who will challenge you every step of the way!

What support can you provide to current undergraduate BGLTQ students who are hoping to enter into your field?

• Curricular advising
• Ideas on undergraduate research opportunities (summer or term)
• Advising about graduate school and nontraditional academic careers

What are your areas of expertise?

• Cultural history
• Intersectional violence
• Gender and ethnic studies
• Consumer culture
• Histories of immigration in the U.S.
