I’m a professor of English at Santa Clara University. I’ve presented papers at two CLAGS conferences: one on the intersection of postcolonial theory and queer theory (from which I developed two edited collections: Postcolonial, Queer [SUNY P], and Postcolonial and Queer Theories [Greenwood P]) and Pink washing and Homonormativity. I am editor of the 3-volume LGBTQ America Today (ABC-CLIO), various essays on transgender autobiography, the intersection of race and queerness, encyclopedia entries on queer theory, etc. Last year I taught a graduate course on this topic in the Gender Studies program at Humboldt University in Berlin, on a Fulbright fellowship.
