Research

My research brings together Marxist and poststructuralist theory to explore the mutually constitutive relationship between community and capitalism. I use the tools of cultural studies - theory, ethnography, discourse analysis - to explore the production of contemporary social formations, including LGBT community and academic fields such as Women's Studies, economic practices such as production, consumption and debt in the context of globalization, and institutions such as nonprofit organizations and prisons. I teach Marxist, poststructuralist and queer theory, cultural studies methods, and introductory level courses in Women's Studies and LGBT studies.
