Biography
I have been involved in queer activism since my
freshman year at Middlebury College, where it was hard to be
queer, but easy to make a difference. My senior project involved
playing the role of Solange in Genet's, "Les bonnes."
I began to do Queer Studies in graduate school
at Brown University, and ended up writing my dissertation about
Julien Green and Marguerite Yourcenar. Despite being very
out on my resume, I managed to get a tenure-track job at a school
I like.
Currently, I teach French theater and other types of literature at
the College of William and Mary. I am planning to teach a
queer literary history course in the fall of 2002.
