I am a performance scholar and historian with a PhD in Theatre and Performance from The Graduate Center, CUNY. My doctoral research focused on itinerant drag performers around New York and along the Eastern Seaboard in the 1930s as part of a collective art form that brought queerness with them to towns and cities around the area. I have also written on topics ranging from queer indie wrestlers, boylesque and male-identified strippers in neo-burlesque, and the influence of RuPaul’s Drag Race on the livelihood and aesthetics of contemporary New York City drag queens.

I live in Reading, UK.

I am originally from Sweden, but also speak and read English (obviously), French, and Portuguese.
