I am a multi-disciplinary, cross-genre scholar, artist, and cultural critic. In my critical work, I discover new connections between historical time periods and reveal the trace of the past in the present. My work brings together diverse archives of cultural objects, including 19th, 20th, and 21st century American literatures, film, media, and performance. I put into conversation texts which are not normally viewed as visually or conceptually interrelated. In my artistic practice, I use a wide range of media to bring forward the complexities of identity discovery and subject formation. I describe my work as “serious play”—I love to “get messy” in everything I do. My monograph, Masculinity in Transition, is currently available for pre-order at University of Minnesota Press.
